Field Breaks Art Club

Welcome to Field Breaks Art Club, designed to motivate and inspire you as we head through the Winter months.  FBA Artist in Residence Hazel Money will guide you through a series of short and enjoyable workshops covering differing techniques and subjects.

Learn something new from the comfort of your own home via zoom - using simple materials you already have

  • Motivate yourself with a new idea
  • Learn something different
  • No maximum class size

Just £15 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.  
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.

Frosty Leaves in Watercolours

Monday  12th January 2026, 10:00am to 11:30am

If you need a boost to start your creative going this year why not try this loose and informal approach to using your watercolours?  We will let our watercolours flow freely around the paper, merging we-in-wet, blending and flicking, and try using an oil pastel (optional) if you have one, to create areas of resistance. Learn to use a limited palette and understand the importance of choosing a contrast of warm and cool colours. Suitable for all abilities.

An optional “cheat sheet” will be sent out before the workshop to help you set the drawing out before the workshop.

You will need: Watercolour paper, watercolour set including cerulean blue, ultramarine blue and burnt sienna; a sharpened pencil and eraser, largish watercolour brush, water pot. A white oil pastel. If you do not have a white oil pastel, an old plain white candle will work, or even a white eye-liner! You can also miss out the resist technique and simply leave a few areas blank. A hairdryer might be quite useful too.

Farmyard scene in line &wash

Friday 16th January 2026, 10:00am to 11:30am

We will learn how to use a variety of different marks to bring interest and help describe this lovely scene. Using a simple palette of colours, you will use this restriction to help you focus on the main subject and give a loose, sketchy feel to this otherwise complicated view. All the elements in this scene are chosen to be easy to draw, and we will break down the composition into separate parts before linking them all together with colour. Suitable for all abilities.

You will need: Watercolour paper, watercolour set, a permanent pen or biro, pencil, medium size watercolour brush, water pot. Some kitchen towel might be helpful too

Snowy landscape using acrylic paints

Friday  23rd January 2026, 10:00am to 11:30am

Join us with your acrylic paints and enjoy creating the drama of low winter sunshine in this step-by-step workshop. Starting off with a coloured background, we will use the warm tone to help emphasise how bright and cold the shadows of snow are in comparison. Simplifying the palette into just a few colours, learn the importance of strong composition to create a striking and pleasing winter scene. Suitable for all abilities.

You will need: Any surface to paint on, preferably primed first with a white emulsion to stop the paint soaking in - watercolour paper, canvas or board will do fine, at whatever size you feel comfortable with. A selection of brushes, a palette and water pot, plus the following colours (or as near as you have) White (preferably titanium) cerulean blue, ultramarine blue, or any other blue you have. Finally burnt sienna.

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