This will be an absorbing and fun filled experience with an outcome of wonderful images from the imagination and direct sources of reference to enjoy and build from!
Kirsty will begin the workshop with a short introduction and demonstrate the components that are needed to create a successful art work, including different ways of making effective and dramatic statements.
Working in a series of small scale panels on board, the students will create as many images as possible, with an emphasis on colour and variety of mark making. Students will then have the choice to progress further onto a larger scale in the afternoon.
Landscape content will be the main focus, whether it is from direct primary sources, for example, working from life, photographs, drawings and sketch book material, or working from the collective memory and imagination and responding to what the chosen medium suggests. A combination of both sources is also an option.
It is during the process of working that Kirsty will guide the students by helping them with which ever medium is chosen, identifying any issues that arise and resolving the problems together.
