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.
Course details
An amazing opportunity for young artists to get to try cold wax medium. Led by Laura Menzies, an abstract artist based in Penryn that was recently featured in Artists and Illustrators magazine.
Learn how to build up layers to create abstract paintings with cold wax, full of texture and depth. The workshop will also look at fun mark-making techniques using a range of tools and materials. Young artists will leave with a small series of works on paper and new knowledge of this fun and diverse medium.
For children aged 7-10, this is a Kids Art Club like no other, where children get to work on easels and use the same high art quality materials as our adult courses. They are taught by experienced artist tutors and start to take their first steps as Young Artists.
