aBOUT THE WORKSHOP
Welcome to this 2 day flower painting workshop. A joyful subject.
In this workshop we will look at ways of describing the floral still life set-up in acrylic and collage. You will be encouraged to find your way in with loose expressive marks. Remember “You can make a wild goose tame but you can't make a tame goose wild.”
I will demonstrate how you can break down the information into simple shapes and describe the liveliness of the set-up in swift moves of a rag and large brushes. Scumbling on dry paint, splashing wet paint. In this way we will gradually ease our way into the painting process.
You will have the opportunity to use collage. It’s a lovely addition and brings new colour and pattern options. The ink and pastels bring liveliness and variety to the surface.
Throughout the workshop Aine will give regular inspirational and energetic demonstrations showing how she uses all these materials. The focus is on being truly attentive to this beautiful subject and engaging a spirit of playfulness.
