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!
In the art world, the concept of spring is rife with symbolism and diverse connotations: spring art speaks of renewal, rebirth, purity, fertility, youth, beauty, love, and, in some instances, frivolity. And so can flowers! In these workshops you will learn about the hidden meaning in flowers used by artists and create your own symbolic, yet life filled artworks.
Wednesday 3rd April 6.30 – 9pm
Thursday 4th April 10.30am – 3pm
Friday 5th April 10.30am – 3pm
The jewel like quality of spring light is reflected off the new sharp buds and leaves which is shown most brilliantly by artists Klimt, Bonnard, and Van Gogh. We shall be utilising their brushstroke techniques and colour palettes to create our own sparkling paintings full of spring life.

Friday 12th April 10.30am – 3pm
Working on a larger scale means that you can experiment with energetic and gestural brushstrokes, mixed media, texture and much more. You can choose a spring subject – landscape, flowers, people, anything that has the vibrancy of spring – as the subject of your work. You will need to have a large canvas (a second hand one will do!) or card or paper.

‘Spring has sprung’ and you now have a whole ‘spring’ vocabulary and energy to bring to your work. Now its your turn to choose the materials, size, and approach to create an image of a washing line with clothes billowing in the spring breeze – or you can choose how you would like to interpret this – even in 3D?!
