Oils and acrylics

I’m running some small studio-based workshops, experimenting with acrylics working very freely and loosely, sometimes with brushes sometimes without.

There are a couple of spaces on these dates:
Tues 29th April
Tues 10th June
Tues 22nd July
Tues 2nd Sept

PM me to book, using the ‘contact me’ on the main page

It is very experimental but fun, painting basic landscape shapes using acrylics, using different painting tools rather than brushes. The idea is to work through the issues we might have with getting back into artwork or  starting a painting by sorting out the big shapes and contrasts with a limited palette.  No more than four people in each group.

I’ve been using water soluble oils for these. They are useful for small pieces which I want to resolve quite quickly. They will be good for working ‘en plein air’ as easier to clean up. I think I prefer the buttery texture of traditional oils to handle

Still working on these, experimenting with water soluble oils.

I posted this on Instagram and Google kept defaulting the text to ‘little oik’ 😁

Top left large oil,  Medway Flooded Fields (with a little artistic licence),  top right small watercolour not actually this one but similar from a series of pieces on Bluebell Hill, bottom right mixed media Frosty Ridges in a Kentish field and bottom left, a canvas print Memories of Snow in Gloucestershire.  Open Studios will be in July but I can open by arrangement if you would like to come to browse work.
