SUMMER : Summer Mix with Zoë Nash
Join multi-disciplinary artist, Zoë Nash, for this three-day workshop that will visually celebrate the colours, vibrancy, and emotional energy of summer. Predominantly a skills-based mixed media drawing class, we will playfully explore a variety of different mark making techniques. These will include using ink, paint and collage, alongside more traditional drawing using pencil, charcoal and pen. Students will be introduced to a range of simple acrylic paint applications, as well as being encouraged to combine both wet and dry materials.
With a focus on bringing together a number of different methods, you will be gently inspired to take risks and push boundaries using an experimental, open-ended, approach that dips into a mixture of tools, surfaces, formats and sizes. Participants will also pick up tips to enhance their composition and communication skills.
Summer Mix is suitable for both absolute beginners as well as those with some experience who want to invigorate a current practice. By the end of the course each student will have a small body of work ready to take away, and lots of inspiration to continue beyond the classroom and into the year ahead.
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 ESPECIALLY those inspired by summer!
• A few paintbrushes including a medium and a small, pointed brush and a 3-5cm wide flat brush

• Scissors

There may be time in the second half of the course to work on a self-directed project. It is difficult to know exactly what you might need in advance as decisions around this will be made during the first two days. 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.
