Constructing a Landscape Painting

Seawhite

Course Dates: 7^th- 9^th September  2026 (Monday - Wednesday)

A 3 day course during which you will ‘construct’ up to three large (A0) paintings on Heavy duty paper (this paper will be supplied as part of the course). We will work in an outside space, weather permitting, a nearby wood on the first day. You will gather visual material, working first in black and white, and then progressing to colour. Making a series of quick drawings and paintings on paper, recording interesting forms, light and shadows, perhaps getting in quite close and intimate with the woodland undergrowth rather than recording the overall vista. This accumulated visual information will then be used as the starting materials and basis with which to embark on the larger paintings back at the studio on days 2 and 3.You will use these as both a resource to work from and as materials that may be directly employed as part of your larger paintings in a collage capacity. You will be experimenting with a whole variety of painting processes, including- collage, experimental mark making, glazing, and paint transfer methods.

Dress up and Draw

I am a final year student doing Costume Design. I am excited to share the knowledge that I have learnt about storytelling, and costume dressing and making.

This is a playful experimental workshop exploring drawing and collage through costume and dressing up where we can capture the power of self expression, or a character and narrative in drawing. When responding from life it is important that you are not separate from what you are describing. We will take turns dressing and drawing each other from life in fun and playful outfits, using pattern fabrics and eccentric accessories. I will be bringing a big box of fabrics, clothing and accessories for everyone to use.
