Join artist Wendi New to learn how to use inks and tissue to create diffused imagery and a beautiful surface on which to add details and enhancements. Perfect for enhancing your floral studies or atmospheric landscape paintings!
In this course you will:
– Learn the best techniques for building up beautiful translucent layers of subtle blends with ink and tissue
– Experiment with mark-making using inks, feathers, tissue and organic materials
– Create a finished piece ready to gift or hang up at home
A fantastic experimental workshop, allowing you to work with different palettes and tissues. Your artwork will grow and grow with beautiful results through the layers!
Please note there will be an £8 materials charge payable on the day for this workshop.
What to expect
Time at ArtisOn is designed to take you away from it all and provide the environment, the time and the guidance you need to create. You can expect a warm welcome, skilled and friendly tutors plus the chance to meet like-minded people keen to share ideas and experiences. 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.
Arrive in time to meet other participants over a cup of tea or coffee and biscuits before beginning your session at the appointed time. 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 homemade 2 course lunch. The main course will be delicious but don’t overdo it as the puds are usually worth waiting for! There will be a further afternoon break with the most wonderful cakes from Roots & Fruits Home Bakery, a North Yorkshire micro-bakery producing handmade bread and cakes. All food and refreshments are included in the price of the workshop.
Finish time is given as 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… of course 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 it a day being looked after, with good food, good company and great inspiration!
What you’ll need to bring with you
Please bring some flora and fauna that inspires you. Please wear old clothes and/or an apron as this can be messy!
