What a brilliant selection of work produced at our mixed media workshop today! We got stuck straight into some quick ink drawing, added collage then moved onto some collage canvases inspired by the work of Robert Kushner.
In the afternoon we used Watercolour in combination with collage and oil pastels to produce some super landscapes. Great work from all!

Do you like the idea of experimenting with a mix of materials? If you do then join our mixed media workshop this Saturday.
We will be using a variation of materials including acrylic paint, watercolours and collage. We will look at applications which will encourage you to work intuitively, throw up some interesting compositions, texture and colour combinations. Get in touch now to save yourself a space!

The watercolour classes are focusing on colour mix

The watercolour classes are focusing on colour mixing, inspired by the great Scottish colourist, Peploe. The challenge was to try and use only primary colours - two yellow's, two reds, and two blues. These photos are close up details of works in progress and looking great already. Hopefully we can share the finished paintings next week!

Watercolour workshop - pen, ink and watercolour. These are some of the lovely pen and wash paintings that the group created on Saturday, putting in to practice the techniques explored in the morning. #penandinkdrawing #watercolourworkshop

The morning at the pen, ink and wash workshop was spent experimenting with different pens to see what kind of lines and marks they made - including match sticks and bamboo skewers! We used fern leaves for inspiration and then created black and white postcard sized images, adding in pattern and texture with the pens. A bit of colour was added with a mini still life. More to come later of what we did this afternoon ...
