Join experienced artist Lynn Ward for a day of exploring and learning helpful skills to recreate water in acrylics. Let Lynn guide you through all the processes involved in creating your very own masterpieces – from mixing colours to picking the correct brush to create the desired effect.
This course will develop your painting skills around the subject of water. Along with painting composition, you will be taking a good look at the colours found in different types of water, its depths and reflections, then developing your mixing skills.
You will dive into the day with short discussions, demonstrations, individual painting exercises and planning your personal piece of artwork.
In the second half of the day you’ll be putting your observations and painting skills to use in creating you own personal project that you can take home and proudly display!
Don’t miss this opportunity to create your own depiction of your favourite watery place.
Please note 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 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
