JUST ONE PLACE REMAINING
Join Simon Williams SBA at the inspiring location of Ness Botanical Gardens on the Wirral, to study the art of depicting botanical or animal subjects in either watercolour or gouache. This annual workshop is geared to those who have a little taste of botanical illustration, and also more experienced artist who may need stretching to the next level.
Watercolours are a wonderfully expressive medium but we often need a push to help us exploit the best qualities available to us. In his second workshop this year, Paul will be returning to bring us a workshop geared at taking your watercolour painting to the next level. We will be looking at using the versatility of watercolours to bring light and expression to your work, with a focus on contrast and tone. Most suitable for those who may have a little previous watercolour experience.
JUST ONE PLACE LEFT
New to Field Breaks Art, artist Heather Burton will take us on an exciting tour of colour, shape and textures, using palette knives and acrylic paints. Achieve a more confident, loose approach to your work based on the layering of acrylic paints using a variety of knives. Try out Heather's own knives or experiment with those you may already own. Suitable for everyone, from absolute beginners to more experienced artists, who would like to try a new technique and approach to painting.
Take a walk on the wild side with artist Neil Rogers, who will show us how to use our acrylic paints to describe the features of these charismatic animals. Starting with a grid system to help us with proportions, we will go on to study individual features and progress to building up a realistic portrait of these majestic felines. Suitable for all abilities.
Join us for a relaxing workshop using alcohol based ink pens, isopropyl alcohol and Yupo paper to create a vibrant flower picture. Karen will take us step by step through her fluid technique of layering background colours, splashes and texture, before adding floral details. Reference material will be available, as well as working from our imaginations.
Take a trip down the High Street with your paints and join us for a fun and inspiring workshop, looking at the many variations on a theme of Victorian shop windows. Learn to add lines, marks, textures and interest to your drawings, then add washes of colour and splashes, drips and dribbles to personalise your own compositions.
This four day workshop will explore the world inside and outside your sketchbook. Using the magnificent surroundings of Ironbridge in Shropshire for our starting point, we will make trips outdoors to gather information and take inspiration for compositions.
