Up on the Chalk Downs – Drawing & Painting

Course Dates: April 28^th- May 2^nd 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.

It is very important that anyone attending the course is physically strong and fit enough to be able to walk up a hill and be out in the landscape for a large part of days 1 & 2.
