Join multi-disciplinary artist, Zoë Nash, for this mixed media, two-day intensive workshop that visually celebrates the vibrancy and colour of spring.
Students will be introduced to a range of acrylic painting techniques as well as looking at combining wet and dry materials. We’ll explore blending, layering, how to create washes and stains, the addition of texture, how to make glazes, and lots of innovative mark making techniques, Visual communication, storytelling and composition will be an ongoing theme of the weekend.
Spring Fiesta is suitable for both absolute beginners as well as those with some experience who want to experiment further or reinvigorate a current practice. By the end of the weekend each student will have a small body of work ready to take away, and lots of inspiration to continue beyond the classroom.
Materials List:
• A RANGE of drawing media (eg pencils in a few different weights, a biro or ink writing pen/s, charcoal and/or graphite… variety is what we are aiming for).
• A selection of acrylic paints (suggest primary colours of red, yellow and blue, plus a black and a white as minimum). Do feel free to bring other colours as desired AND inspired by spring!
• A few paintbrushes including a medium and a small, pointed brush and a 3-5cm wide flat brush
• A drinking straw
• A3 or A2 sketchpad or good quality drawing paper
• Some good quality wet strength/watercolour paper (suggest an A3 pad that can be cut into smaller sizes if nec. 300gsm)

Day Two consists of more self-directed work. It is difficult to know exactly what you might need in advance as decisions around this will be made on the Saturday. The above media may be all that you require, however you may wish to source other surfaces to work upon, which may need priming with gesso in advance.
