Join me in my studio at Flametree Winery
In this two and a half hour workshop I will introduce you to the tonal impressionist art techniques that were passed on to me. I will walk you though my process, how to observe and guide you in your own creation of a painting using my techniques and tips. This workshop is perfect for all levels of experience; from those who have never picked up a paintbrush and beginners to practicing artists who wish to try and new approach.
The subject of this workshop is our gorgeous South West Blue Wrens, where we will work from a photograph taken by Rachel Woods of a male wren who is changing colour for the breeding season (photograph featured above).
Over the course of the workshop you will be encouraged in how to really see and observe, and experience the glorious feeling of losing yourself in time and space while you work on something creative. I will guide and assist you along the way with colour mixing, how to attend to tonal values to produce realistic, three dimension works, how to resolve mistakes and different ways of mark making. You will work with a my usual palette of colours in acrylic paints and hear tips for how you would use the same techniques in oils as is my usual practice.
