-
How to make a 3D vessel using a 2D template
-
Layering surface colour, creating different shades and tones
-
Creating texture using surface embellishments and cut felt techniques
Participants will manipulate wet felt to create a basic, easy-to-master 3D vessel. Its simpledesign will allow attendees to spend the majority of the workshop contemplating different design elements, selecting surface embellishments to be felted in and incorporating cut-away window features that expose more contrast of colour and tone, resulting in an individual and unique piece. Lovely hand-dyed rovings, silk fibres & cottons, as well as other materials, that can embellish the vessel’s surface, will be provided. Templates and other essential resources will be loaned, for use, in the workshop.

This workshop is designed to pass on all the techniques that have revolutionised the creative process for your tutor, allowing her to stop the self-sabotage and experience freedom in the studio.

Let’s face it, art is all about making mistakes and fixing them beautifully!
The day will begin with setting up a foundation in Drawing Analysis before diving into working with paint, values, a limited palette and extremely limited time periods of working. Over the course of the day three images will be painted, including an object, a landscape, and a portrait, all in 30-minute blocks!

Master Class
Form and Anatomy - Building a drawing from the torso outwards
Design and Gesture - Organising from long lines inwards to torso
Rendering (shading) to both solidify the figure and emphasising gesture and design
The workshop will begin with building the figure from the torso. This allows a focus on techniques of seeing more accurately, generating more three-dimensionality, working with critical anatomical points and cultivating more skilled use of weighted lines. The torso is also focussed on because, gesture flows outwards from the relation of the torso masses.
Moving on to seeing the figure in terms of design and gestural whole, using long sweeping lines to approximate the figure and capture the feeling of movement and aliveness. The torso will be then be built within the overall gestural context.
Finally, considering longer poses and beginning to work with rendering (classical rendering in light and shade) to further emphasise and substantiate the qualities previously worked on - form (3-dimensionality), key anatomical points, gestural and design relationships
This workshop will cover form and anatomy, design and gesture and rendering to solidify the figure and emphasise gesture and design. Some time will be spent with a live model.

Theme - Techniques to amplify and control the character of your subject.

Beginner or those wanting a refresher
The aim of this workshop is to learn/relearn the basic principles of the joy of painting with watercolour. Attendees will be guided with a step-by-step process in each session. There will be three sessions per day, for two days, with a continuous graduation from the previous session’s learnings.
As this is designed to hone your watercolour skills, and not involve drawing skills, all participants will be provided with different brands of watercolour paper, already having the basic sketch completed. This is to maximize the painting period, and not get bogged down on the ability to draw, plus experience the difference in quality of various paper. Reference photos, when used, will be provided. Painting subjects will include varying landscape scenes and flowers.
