During this workshop students will learn about design and construction of a contemporary still life including how to incorporate collage and pattern, techniques in Acrylic paint, colour palette and mixing and how to move away from reality.

This workshop is aimed at all levels, although a bit of experience in using acrylic paints would be useful.

We will work from sketches made first. It is here that shapes and tones are organized.

Jan has been teaching for 25 years and exhibits work regularly in UK galleries and Art Groups.
