Tutor - Catherine Knight

2-day workshop

Tuesday 9 and Wednesday 10 September, 10am - 4pm

Taking inspiration from American artists Georgia O‘Keeffe and Lois Dodd we will explore the world of tree painting. We will spend a morning drawing in Royal Fort Gardens and then bring these sketches back to the studio to develop into oil paintings. We will look at expressive mark- making, colour-mixing and how to capture the majesty of tree forms.

Suitable for all abilities.

All materials provided, though we recommend bringing your own brushes if you have them. Please wear clothes suitable for a painty studio environment, and sensible footwear for off-site drawing. Bring a bag or portfolio suitable for taking wet work home with you after the sessions.
