Still Life Painting: Colour, Collage & Acrylic with Emma Sherry

Saturday 8th April (10am - 4pm)

£75.00

A one day workshop using collage, acrylic and water-soluble pencils to create still-life with energy and movement.

This workshop is intended to help loosen your drawing and painting style using various techniques. The process will be messy, drippy, splatty and hopefully lots of fun to create some colourful, relaxed paintings.

We will use a mix of collage and acrylic paint working into them with crayons and pencils. We will focus on painting fruit – the still-life will be provided, however if you do have something specific you would like to paint you are welcome to bring it with you.

You will leave the workshop with a number of loose paintings and at least one finished piece.

• A3/A2 sketch pad – preferably heavy-weight (330gsm +).
• A minimum of 4 A2 pieces of mount-board (used for framing) or canvas board/painting panels – a mix of white, grey or black.
• A wide selection of good quality acrylic paints including bright colours.
• Acrylic pens/Posca pens– particularly black and white.
• Water soluble pencils/crayons – particularly black and white.
• Fine-liner and pencils.
• A selection of collage materials such as maps, telephone directories, newspapers, wrappers, cardboard etc.

• A selection of brushes – as big and flat as possible.
• Something to mix paint on – a palette or plate etc.
