SUMMARY:From Observation to Abstraction
DESCRIPTION:In the first part of this course\, we will making observational
  studies and sketches outdoors in a concertina sketchbook. Taking themes f
 rom the Findhorn Eco - Village such as the Nature Sanctuary\, The Gardens\
 , The Universal Hall and Phoenix Café\, whiskey barrel houses\, as well a
 s Findhorn Bay and Beach. We will prepare our sketchbooks with washes and 
 collage before using a range of drawing materials such as pencils\, water 
 soluble pens\, posca pens\, and layering with more collage of printed phot
 ographs from your phone taken on location.\nIn the second part of the week
 \, we will be developing your work from the sketchbooks into more experime
 ntal and abstracted drawings\, prints\, collages and paintings\, using acr
 ylic or oil. We will also use many unconventional tools such as squeegees\
 , stencils\, spray bottles etc. We will be learning about the importance o
 f using and seeing tonal values and choosing a personal palette of colours
  to reflect your unique style of expression. It will be experimental and p
 layful\, encouraging you to take many risks which will be ALOT of fun! \nA
 rrive with an open mind and no expectations and you’ll leave creatively 
 fulfilled and inspired having returned home to the authentic expression of
  your ‘self’.\nMaterials and lunch provided!\n\nABOUT YOUR TUTOR\n\n\n
 \n\n\nMy four most favourite passions are art\, teaching art\, music and h
 ealing. The thing that makes me feel the most alive is drawing and paintin
 g in nature and being immersed in the elements. I'm very lucky to have met
  my mountaineer husband Al Smith in the French Alps while touring with my 
 band The Cosmic Sausages. I used to tour with the band every year around E
 urope\, singing and playing my piano accordion.\n\n\n\nwww.celiaforestalsm
