Field Breaks Art Club

Welcome to Field Breaks Art Club, designed to motivate and inspire you as we head through the Winter.  FBA Artist in Residence Hazel Money will guide you through a series of short and enjoyable workshops covering differing techniques and subjects.
Why not take time out and join in with one of our short on-line art classes?  Designed to inspire and motivate, the workshops are relaxed and fun, with an emphasis on experimentation.  Each class will introduce a topic or demonstrate a technique for you to try at home.  Join in during the class and chat to others for inspiration and ideas.
  • Motivate yourself with a new idea
  • Learn something different
  • No maximum class size

Just £12 per workshop

These workshops are designed to use simple art materials you are likely to have at home already.  Full demonstration is given throughout and you will have plenty of time for asking questions as we go along.  Classes take part on-line using Zoom so please ensure you have a comfortable perch to view your screen and a secure internet connection.  
Beach huts in pen and watercolour

Friday 7th March 10:00am - 11:30am

Join us down on the beach to paint these wonderfully characterful line of sheds and boats, using the quick and spontaneous pen and wash technique. Worried about drawing? If you can draw a banana you will be able to draw these boats. Using a variety of different lines and shapes, we will add interest to the drawing first with our pen, then start washing, dripping and splashing the paint about - great fun!

You will need:  Pencil, a waterproof drawing pen or biro, watercolour paper, watercolour set, mixing palette, water pot, a medium watercolour brush

Looking into the sun - Contre Jour in Acrylics

Monday 17th March 10:00am - 11:30am

A technique often used by artists to create the impression of bright sunshine behind objects, this workshop will look at the colours we need to mix to achieve this effect.  Using a simple source photograph of a river and rooftops in sillouette, we will work in stages and concentrate on creating mood with our acrylic paints.

Suitable for all abilities.

You will need:  Any small squarecanvas, watercolour paper or a piece of card, a variety of brushes, acrylic paints, water pot, kitchen towel, a flat tile or an old ceramic plate for a mixing palette.

Once you have signed up to a class, you will receive a confirmation by email.

Materials list and a Zoom link and an image to work from will be forwarded a few days before the workshop - please print this out beforehand if you can, however if you have no access to a printer, you will be able to see Hazel's throughout the workshop on your screen.

Please note - If you do not receive the link before the workshop, please do email or contact us, as the email may have gone astray - if you wait until after the workshop has taken place, unfortunately we cannot offer a refund

We look forward to seeing you soon!
