The workshop programme is updated regularly, often due to high demand and special requests. So if there is anything you would particularly like to see arranged, then please let us know.

 

Workshop: Rocks, trees and landscape

Sat August 9th, 10.30 am to 4 pm

Venue: Hughenden woods

With: Jill Eyers and other artists

An art course with a difference! Come and spend a fun day with us. Suitable for all levels of ability and suitable for any media. The day will include the following and much more, dependant on the weather and individual preferences:

The world of rocks: the what, where and why
The rocky world for artists – what you can get terribly wrong!
Trees - simplified
Textures – methods and ideas
Work in the woods – getting down to nature
Collage – more than you think!
Working with a variety of media
Colour and form – ideas and examples

The programme will be left fairly flexible to allow for different preferences of media and subject to be worked on. After the initial introduction and the following demonstrations and ideas session, sketches and ideas can then be worked on in a variety of styles and media. Artists will be sent a list of suggested materials – but essentially they will probably want to bring and work in their ‘preferred’ media. However, we will have a variety of other materials that can be experimented with.

To enrol: please send full payment of £25 payable to ‘Dr J. Eyers’ to 13 Pusey Way, Lane End, High Wycombe, Bucks, HP14 3LG with your name and address, or complete the slip below. A receipt with a map of the hall location and a list of what to bring will be sent to you by return.

Workshop: Rocks and Landscape

Hands-on workshop dates tbd. 2008,  10 am to 4.30 pm, £25

Location: High Wycombe area and Milton Keynes, Bucks

Places are limited. Let me know if you are interested and I will send you the latest availability. I can also arrange to give this presentation to your own art group or society.

Whether you are interested in improving your landscape painting or want inspiration from some amazing insights into rocks and minerals, this is a very different and interesting course. It is suitable for beginners to experienced artists, and is suitable for all styles from the literal to the abstract.

During the day we will:

look at rocks close up and under the microscope
look at what makes rock textures and how we can capture this
look at how rocks make landscape
look at (through slides) the good, the bad and the downright impossible landscapes from the art world!
practise some different techniques in capturing the complex forms and patterns which make up the distinctive landscape of the UK
look at some dramatic landscapes of the world for pure inspiration!

The day will be led by professional geologist/artist Jill Eyers. Please contact us for further details or use the booking form to reserve your place. Lunch can be purchased nearby or bring your own picnic. A map, full joining instructions and details on what to bring will be sent. This day is repeated regularly.
