Painting Objects of Desire – Still Life

Course dates: April 3rd - 4th  2025 (Thursday to Friday)

Suitable for all levels, including beginners.

Inspired by the Matisse’s paintings of interiors, patterns and objects we will be creating simple still life set ups in the studio, bringing a sense of domestic space, though props, objects, fabrics and furniture. The way objects inhabit a space can be so evocative, suggesting something that has, or is about to happen, a half drunk cup, an open book. Still life has also been used by artists as a simple, manageable subject with which to play with much more universal themes, the play of light on forms, the effect of colour and pattern in a composition.

Up on the Chalk Downs – Drawing & Painting

Course Dates: April 28th- May 2nd 2025 (Monday - Friday)

This 5 day course will begin by taking you on a journey through the process of making drawings and studies whilst moving through the landscape of the South Downs. You will travel light with a range of materials, that will be provided for you, that enable you to make playful mixed media explorations. They are not plans for paintings but a compilation of things seen, felt, heard. Two days in the landscape will be followed by three days in the studio using this material to start to develop a series of paintings. Back in the studio Emily will demonstrate the many possibilities that paint can offer. She will help with the process of unpacking the potential from the studies and get everyone working on 3 – 4 paintings. You will navigate the path that the paintings may want to take and keep a playful sense of engagement.

Painting The Figure in the Landscape

Course Dates: 19th- 21st May  2025 (Monday – Wednesday)

There is an idea that when we view a landscape painting without a human figure we imaginatively project ourselves into the painted space. And so the work becomes about our relationship with the landscape and whoever or whatever created it. If we put a figure in it the whole dynamic changes, now we wonder what the figure is thinking, doing, what is their relationship with their surroundings and what is ours to them. No small thing! In Freidrich’s ‘Monk by the Sea’ don’t we wonder what the monk thinking about?
