Join us for our popular daytime art workshops, where we have more time to explore subjects and techniques.
An opportunity to enjoy a concentrated ‘day’ class in the evening that are suitable for students and adults.
Over the next few weeks, we shall celebrate the arrival of spring! We shall explore the colours, vibrancy, and the newborn energy of spring in a wide range of media and areas of focus from landscapes painting to printmaking. Our final project will be clothes on a washing line utilising all the drapery rendering you have learnt!
During May we shall be exploring the human figure; life drawing and collage, portrait painting, groups of figures and composition, adding figures to artworks, and even figure sculpting!
Remember that Hilary will also be giving two Life Classes in St. George’s Hall, Bewdley, in conjunction with the Foundry Artists Exhibition during May 2024.
In addition to the Foundry Artists exhibition in St George’s Hall, Bewdley
Hilary Baker will be giving her popular Life Drawing Classes
Everyone welcome even beginners!
All materials and refreshments supplied
In these workshops we shall be putting sky and sea, or water, together in a single image. The tricky part is making it a complete picture with the light from the sky illuminating the sea or body of water. Great colour combinations can be used to show weather and atmospheric conditions and give drama to your landscapes.
Express Yourself Continues!
After we exploded into action with Expressive Art earlier this term with landscapes, figures, and portraits, we are now continuing with abstract compositions, narratives and still life – learning new techniques, different materials and focusing on a wide variety of artists who make art full of expression, emotion, and atmosphere. At the end of this term you will plan and develop your own expressive artwork in the medium of your choice.
All workshops are suitable for any new and emerging artists who wish to push their techniques and imagery further and also for those who have more creative experience.
It’s never too late to become an artist!
Whether you’re eight years old or eighty, it’s never too late to start making art. Why not start now?
Give in to your passion, find inspiration and dive in. In Foundry Artists workshops, I will lead you through a wide range of methods and mediums to find your own creative voice.
