COURSE/WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION

Explore your own creativity and personal style on this new series of mixed media workshops. These lively and relaxed sessions will have a different theme each month. To spark your imagination the tutor will provide stimulus material, reference pictures and images relating to the monthly theme. The tutor will demonstrate new techniques and you will receive individual guidance and encouragement to enable you to create a beautiful piece of art to take home. The sessions will encompass elements of figurative work, still life/observational work, automatic drawing, collage and intuitive painting. You will explore communicating movement, gesture, colour, light, surface and texture within your work. This workshop is suitable for beginners and improvers, and returners to art. TUTOR INFORMATION: Olivia Mansfield is a tutor with over 10 years of experience running creative workshops alongside her own practice.
