Using experimental materials and mark making, create dramatic responses to the seascape, inspired by the paintings of Joan Eardley.

An afternoon of letting Acrylic Paint, Oil Bars and Inks become like the sea…rolling, splattering, moving, dragged and poured.

Inspired by Joan Eardley, we will use big brushes, rollers, rags and fingers to evoke a sense of the sea in several paintings and drawings. This session will be more about process than outcome, with ideas to pursue later.

The St. Ives School of Painting is a friendly and welcoming place for all levels of ability, class sizes are kept small to create a nurturing environment for all.

Please note: This is an adult workshop, however we would welcome children aged 14 or over, if accompanied by a paying adult. This is the case as we cannot guarantee that all our tutors have been DBS checked.

What to Bring

All materials are provided. As we may work outdoors for some of the duration of the workshop, please wear sensible shoes and bring a coat or sunhat as appropriate.

Timings and Breaks

The workshop will run from 1.30pm until 4.30pm. Please arrive 10-15 minutes before the start time so you can check in at reception and get settled in. We will serve tea and coffee at break times during the workshop.
