In this workshop Louise will focus on opening your mind to
the vast variety of texture, mark making, mixed medium and methods of making an
image. The only boundary to this is your own imagination, there is no rules and
should be no expectations to what makes up a 2D image, (painting).
Louise will supply a piece of good quality, stretched
watercolour paper for you. The board and paper will be yours to take away with
you as there is no guarantee that you will have the time to complete the piece,
allowing you to finish it at your leisure. It is better to take your time, to
accept that it is worth giving yourself the chance to play and experiment and
to benefit from the advice Louise can offer.
But it is very necessary to bring
along a sketch book to try out mark making and medium combinations that you
will discover during the workshop.
Louise uses a number of collage techniques and will bring
along a variety of materials, tools and suggestions. Please being your own supply of bits and pieces that interest and
inspire you.
Louise will supply glues and applicators also some painting
materials. Could you please provide some
painting materials yourself, eg. acrylics and watercolour. Louise will
bring a variety of inks, and some Brusho, however
if you have any of these yourself it would be helpful to bring these along for
your own use.
Please also bring a
variety of brushes to suit your own style and techniques, although again
Louise will have a supply from which to borrow.
Day 1:-Morning- A
discussion of medium properties in order to appreciate some of the medium’s
attributes.
-A series of mark making experiments to practice the mediums
properties and to find techniques that suit you. You will be able to try out
the mediums that Louise will bring along. It is such a help to try these
products out before you commit to purchasing them, mediums have to suit you,
your style and your methods.
Afternoon-You
will now start to realise the image that you each want to convey, using the
techniques that were developed in the morning. This will take some time; the
structure of the painting is laid down using collage and texture. This work can
be completed at home in the evening if you have any energy left.
Day 2:-Morning-
On day two will move on to the painting techniques that you can apply to the
image. The first part of the morning will be spent developing and experimenting
with some of these techniques and the mediums available. You will be encouraged
to mix mediums, to find and then experiment with these discoveries.
Afternoon -Although
you will work towards the completion of the painting it is the processes that
are most important. The afternoon will be about containing and controlling the
techniques learnt.
