Join experienced artist Lynn Ward for a day of exploring the medium of acrylics and let her guide you through all the processes involved in creating your very own masterpieces.
This course is a fantastic way to develop your knowledge and understanding of acrylics. Under the expert guidance of Lynn, you will learn about colour mixing, composition and drawing, all with the aim of creating a landscape painting in your own style. You will learn to consider the make up of the landscape, its light, weather and textures. What better way to show appreciation for God’s own county than immortalising it on canvas!
This course is designed for those with painting experience and enthusiastic beginners.
The first half of the day will involve short demonstrations and some painting exercises to build your confidence and create ideas that you may want to take into your final piece. You will also begin to draw out your personal piece.
The second half of the day will be spent working on your own artwork, putting into practice what you have learned so far in order to produce something that you can take home and proudly display!
Come and enjoy being creative with this great flexible medium.
Please note that there is a £10 material charge payable on the day.
What to expect
Time at ArtisOn is designed to take you away from it all. We provide the environment, the time and the guidance you need to create. You can expect a warm welcome, skilled and friendly tutors and the chance to meet like-minded people keen to share ideas. You can even leave us to clear up the mess! There will usually be two workshops going on and we encourage everyone to mingle and be nosey about what the other workshop is up to.
We encourage you to arrive at 9.30am. This will allow time to meet other participants over a cup of tea or coffee and biscuits before beginning workshops at 10am. There will be a mid-morning break for refreshments and a chance to talk over progress with others. Lunch is usually around 12:45 for about 45 mins – you can expect a delicious homemade 2 course lunch. There will be a further afternoon break with tea or coffee and cake. All food and refreshments are included in the price of your workshop.
The finish time given is a target. There are occasions when the session may overrun so do let us know if you need to be away promptly.
We aim for your day to be a real treat. You could always learn a new skill in a shed or a draughty village hall with a curly sandwich, but we want you to have more fun than that! So we make sure we provide a day where you will be looked after, with good food, good company and great inspiration!
What you’ll need to bring with you
Please wear clothes and/or an apron that you don’t mind getting spoilt as acyrlic paint does NOT come off clothes.
If you have any paint, palettes or brushes by all means bring them and if not materials can be provided on the day.
Reference material will be provided but if you had a photograph or picture that’s you would like to base your landscape painting on then by all means bring it
