Working from still life, explore Scottish artist Anne Redpath’s mastery of light and use of different greys, enlivened by jewel like notes of colour, to produce paintings of unexpected vitality.
Alice will show you how the vivid paintings of Scottish artist Anne Redpath OBE have inspired much of her own work. An artist herself inspired by Bonnard and Matisse, you will focus on Redpath’s mastery of the limited palette, enlivened by jewel like notes of colour.
Working in the studio from still life, using oils, you will explore her use of light and the effect of using different greys, some light, some cool, to paint with an unexpected vitality. This is a fast paced and vibrant course taking a different approach to the familiar genre of still life.
