SUMMARY:Street Photography Workshop with Peter Martin
DESCRIPTION:Spend the day with professional photographer\, Peter Martin\, capturing village life and The Great Broadway Paint-Off that will be taking place in the village that day. \nEveryone has a story to tell. Some do it with words\, or music\, or art\, but this workshop is for someone who wants to tell a story with their camera. \nThe day starts with an early morning session where Peter will cover all the important elements of reportage Street Photography and how to capture the shots needed to document life… with the aim of creating a photo essay comprising of a minimum of 5 photographs. The photo essay can illustrate either the event as a whole\, or the story of one of the artists from beginning to end of the day. \nThe group will then be released into the village to spend a couple of hours capturing scenes in the village individually. \nThe group then reconvenes at 12:30 to have lunch\, share shots captured so far and obtain advice from Peter. \nAfter the lunchtime session the photographers will once again venture out into the village capturing the rest of the day and the culmination of the Paint-Off with the exhibition and announcement of prizewinners in the marquee from 4-5pm. \nThe day will conclude with a wrap up session at 5pm. The group will then have the opportunity to share their resulting work online after the editing step is complete. \nParticipants will have the chance to connect with Peter via email and phone in advance of the workshop in order to help them prepare and get the most out of the day\, discussing approaches and possibilities. \nThis workshop is open to anyone age 16 and over\, and especially useful for those working towards their Photography A level. \nWorkshop participants can spend as little or as much time as they like capturing scenes during the day. \nAbout Tutor Peter Martin: \nCanadian born Peter Martin became a professional at 16 when a photo was published on the front page of a Toronto daily newspaper. Over the last 40 years Martin has worked in over 30 countries accumulating well over 10\,000 credited assignments as both freelance and staff photographer for various newspapers\, news outlets and publications including the Montreal Gazette and the Washington Post.\nHis varied and diverse portfolio of work includes major sporting and entertainment events\, international fashion shoots\, Popes\, Presidents\, Royalty and the fall of the Berlin Wall. His work has been displayed in several solo and group exhibits and in 2008 his photograph of Terry Fox was voted #4 of the Top Ten Historical Photos That Changed Canada. In 2015 he opened his own gallery (Peter Martin Gallery) in Stow-On-The-Wold\, in the Cotswolds. \nWhat to bring: \n\nAny type of digital camera.

SUMMARY:En Plein Air Painting in Watercolour with Bobby Open
DESCRIPTION:An exciting opportunity to paint in a beautiful private garden on the Upper High Street in Broadway.  True to its name\, The Hill is a classic Cotswold stone house nestled in a hillside garden with topiary\, mature trees and summerhouses\, and fabulous views to Bredon Hill and the Malverns.  Participants will be painting outdoors with the aim of capturing aspects of the garden in vibrant and expressive watercolour.   \nBobby Open won the Great Broadway Paint Off in 2023 and paints in watercolour. \nThe day will include demonstrations of useful techniques and approaches to working outdoors in watercolour.  There will be plenty of time for participants to explore the garden and paint fragments and views that catch their eye\, particularly looking at how nature relates to more formal elements.   \nSuitable for those with experience of painting in watercolour. \nBobby’s paintings can be seen on Instagram at www.instagram.com/bobbyopen \nTickets £100 (15 Places) \nMATERIALS LIST \nThe materials listed below are only a general guide based on what I use.  Painting materials can be expensive and\, whilst the quality of materials tends to be reflected in the quality of one’s paintings\, suggestions about materials will be given during the workshop so if in doubt just bring whatever materials you already have and do not rush into buying more. \nBRUSHES \nI mainly use pointed round pure Kolinsky sable brushes (sometimes called designer round).  Typically\, in the studio\, I use da Vinci series 35; outdoors\, I use Escoda Reserva\, Isabey or Rosemary & Co travel brushes\, because the handle protects the brush when travelling.  I tend to use brush sizes 4\, 6\, 8\, 10 and 12.  If I had to choose only one\, it would be a versatile size 7 or 8. \nPAINTS \nI use artists’ quality paint from tubes\, squeezed into pans in a watercolour paint box.  It is essential that the tip of the brush can pick up wet paint: if the paint is too hard\, brush tips become worn and the paint will be less vibrant.  A small plastic spray bottle can be useful to keep paints moist.  Matchsticks or toothpicks are also useful to stir up paint. \nThere are different types of paint box.  Frank Herring makes a good\, affordable plastic paint box.  There are also enameled metal boxes\, including aluminium\, steel and brass: aluminium and brass tend to be more durable (steel boxes eventually rust). \n\nMy full colour palette includes a range of blues\, reds\, yellows and earth colours.  I use Holbein Artists’ Watercolour tubes (H) and Winsor and Newton Professional (W&N).  The colours I’ve underlined are the ones I use most outdoors:\nBlues: Cerulean Blue (H); Cobalt Blue; Ultramarine Blue Deep (H) or French Ultramarine (W&N).\nViolets: Cobalt Violet (H); Ultramarine Violet (W&N); Mineral Violet (H).\nReds: Carmine (H); Cadmium Red Deep (H) or Cadmium Red (W&N).\nYellows: New Gamboge (H); Cadmium Yellow Pale (H); Cadmium Yellow Light (H); Cadmium Yellow Deep (H); Cadmium Orange (W&N).\nEarth Colours and Greens: Yellow Ochre (H); Raw Umber; Burnt Sienna; Burnt Umber; Viridian.\nOccasional Colours: Ivory Black; Jaune Brilliant (H); Lavender (H); other greens such as Cobalt\, Turquoise\, Olive\, Oxide of Chromium and Perylene.\n\nPAPER \n\nI typically use 140lb Fabriano Artistico extra white cold pressed 100% cotton acid-free paper.  Sheets cut into half or quarter are usually more cost effective than blocks.  Saunders Waterford and Arches are also good options.\nA sketchbook can be useful for making notes and quick compositional sketches.\n\nOTHER ITEMS \nI use a Pentel 0.9mm B mechanical pencil; a Faber Castell foldable water pot; metal clips or masking tape to hold paper to a sheet of foamboard or cardboard; kitchen paper and a sponge.  Erasers are banned!  (Not really\, but a soft putty eraser will help to protect the paper surface).  A bottle of water.  Penknife. \nA cap or rimmed hat is useful to limit glare.  If you prefer to sit\, a folding chair or stool may be handy.  A folding easel will be necessary unless you are happy working in your lap.  Please dress for the weather and bring sunscreen/bug spray as appropriate! \nThe Hill\n \n  \n \n  \n \n \n  \n  \n \n  \n  \n
