September 7th - 10th 2021 (Tuesday - Friday)

Late summer flowers, fruits and berries are full of rich, velvety colours. They have soaked up the heat of the summer sun and every colour reflects it back and sings. Even if the blooms are over blown and turning to seed the sculptural character of the plant is still beautiful. This 4 day course is about exploring ways of courageously handling luscious paint to create paintings that go beyond traditional flower paintings. The subject is a gift for painting. The studio will be filled with flowers and the course will be packed with demonstrations and exercises to inspire an artist to be playful and celebrate both painting and the plants.

Course Dates Sept 15th - 17th (Wednesday - Friday) 2021

These sessions are designed for artists who need encouragement and support to become more confident and self-motivated with their painting. Artists bring their own subject and the tutor helps them to unpack, research and create their own personal practice, in order to help their work evolve and for them to see the creative possibilities more clearly. As part of the course the tutors also do talks showing the work of other artists. We explore using new materials and tools to play with to refresh and add to what you are doing. In conjunction with this we create practical, creative exercises to unpack the process of painting. Each student is given individual critiques and tuition as well as benefiting from working with a group of like minded artists. Three consecutive days gives the space and time to really see progress and to get absorbed in your work.
