Tutor - James Lynch

Thursday 9, and Friday 10 January 2025, 10.30am-4.30pm

For over 30 years, James has evolved a personal approach of painting using the ancient medium of egg tempera. He will demonstrate cooking up gesso for a ground, sizing paper with rabbit skin glue, making the paint with egg yolk, pigments and water. Participants will experiment with the medium, everyone producing one work on sized paper (Day 1), and one work on gesso coated panel (Day 2). Inspiration for paintings will come for landscape and skyscapes. 

Prior painting experience necessary.

Please wear clothes and footwear suitable for a studio environment, and bring along a bag or portfolio for taking work away with you. Please also bring a selection of brushes - James recommends both soft and bristle brushes.
