Weekend watercolour workshops at Snape MaltingsUnfortunately, due to an extensive programme of rebuilding at the Maltings, there will be no art courses there in 2008. Hopefully, the programme will resume in 2009. I have left in the information below in place, so that you can get a feel for the type of workshops I expect to tutor at Snape in the future. For the second year running I am tutoring two weekend workshops at Snape Maltings, a unique collection of old granaries and malthouses nestling beside the River Alde in Suffolk. The courses are held in a spacious workshop with easy access. Each course runs from 10am until 5pm. Meals can be enjoyed in the Granary Tea Shop or the Plough & Sail pub and there is plentiful local accomodation available.
Landscape in Pen and Wash Saturday 30 June and Sunday 1 July 2007. Price £90 A simple ink sketch with a few colour washes can be one of the most effective uses of the watercolour medium, and is ideal for quick outdoor sketches. Come and try these exciting techniques in a course suitable for all abilities. I will demonstrate various different ways of using watercolour and ink, both traditional and more adventurous. Weather permitting we shall work outside for part of the course, either at Snape or at nearby Orford. Free flowing watercolour Saturday and Sunday 4 - 5 August 2007. Price £90 Capture the essence of the landscape simply but effectively with this exciting workshop. Usind big brushes, a limited palette of colours and a variety of paper surfaces I will show you how you can quickly achieve vibrant and atmospheric paintings. Combining studio and outdoor working, the course will be suitable for both beginners and more experienced artists.
