SUMMARY:Expressive Landscapes with Rachel Cronin: 3 Day Abstract Workshop
DESCRIPTION:This 3 day workshop will help you loosen up and create expressive and bold landscapes using the beautiful surroundings of Stanton Guildhouse as inspiration working with landscape artist\, Rachel Cronin. \nThe aim of this course is to help you free yourselves from the need to create representational work in order to create work that expresses how you feel instead. If you have been wanting to let go of accuracy and loosen up then this is for you. Rachel will show you how to work across multiple pieces so that if you get stuck on one painting\, you can move on to the next. This will help you to view your work with more objectivity and less judgement as you return to it multiple times across the weekend. The focus will be less on creating finished paintings and more on helping you build a toolkit of techniques and approaches so that you can add these to your own creative practice. \nThere will be plenty of demonstrations so that you can see how to mix paint of the right consistency and colour for your work\, and you will also have the opportunity to experiment with creating texture by scraping and sanding back paint\, using glaze mediums and texture paste\, as well as using thick and thin paint. You will spend time exploring both soft and hard edges by pushing and dragging paint\, using cloths to smudge out colour and masking off with tape to create strong contrast. All students will receive help and guidance throughout the workshop\, with individual tuition throughout to help you establish your personal creative motivations. \nWe will use the Art Room at Stanton Guildhouse as our base but you can expect to be outside in the beautiful grounds at Stanton Guildhouse with its far reaching views from the Cotswold escarpment. \nPlease note that the Art Room is not wheelchair accessible and is up a series of steep\, external steps. For more information about access\, please email workshops@broadwayartsfestival.com \nThis workshop is for those with some experience of painting. \nLight lunch will be provided on day 2 & 3\, please bring a lunch with you for the first day. \nTickets £390 (12 Places) \nTickets go on sale through the website at 10am on 17th March. \nNOTE: There is beautiful onsite accommodation available to book at Stanton Guildhouse – email info@broadwayartsfestival.com to enquire/book. \n  \nDay One: \nOn day one we will gather information from our surroundings whilst using expressive drawing techniques like blind contour and non-dominant hand drawing. You will also be encouraged to stay present to whatever the landscape is showing you and explore how these responses inform your marks and lines. After some initial warm up sketches\, we will move onto using viewfinders to create thumbnail sketches. This will help you to observe and understand the underlying structure of the landscape and see how different elements like fields\, hedgerows\, trees and houses are arranged on the picture plane. We will then take these sketches and create several slightly bigger painted versions that allow us to begin to explore brush marks and a limited colour palette. We will work with only a selected number of actual marks so you will be able to work towards looseness and observe that even a small scale up will change the way you make marks.  \nDay Two: \nOn day two we will scale up further still and begin to look at paint application\, transitions and the principles of contrast. We will take a couple of our sketches and use them as inspiration for some larger pieces of work where we explore brush-craft and paint application in more detail. We will experiment with a selection of tools to create texture and variation within our painted surface such as wire brushes\, soft rags\, masking tape\, palette knives\, silicone scrapers and cut-up credit cards. As the day progresses\, we will begin to introduce different acrylic paint mediums such as texture paste and glaze medium.  \nDay Three: \nHaving spent two days using a limited colour palette\, day three will be spent exploring different types of colour groupings. We will explore bright\, saturated colours as well as desaturated\, neutral colours and you will be able to create new work using a different type of colour story. We will also explore composition in more detail\, referring back to our thumbnail sketches to help us create focus and contrast. The last day will draw to a close with a celebration of your work and a chance to share your experiences. \n\nYou will need to bring:\n\n\n\nA portable sketching kit to include:\nA sketchbook (it doesn’t matter what size but you will need to carry it around!)\nA selection of pencils\, charcoal\, a rubber and a sharpener\nA brush pen\n\nDry media such as colour pencils\, crayons and pastels if you have them\n\nYour acrylic paints to include Lemon Yellow\, Ultramarine or Cobalt Blue\, Burnt Sienna\, Crimson\, and Paynes Grey\nA set of brushes suitable for use with acrylics\nA jar for holding your water\nA palette- a Stay wet palette\nKitchen roll\nPalette knives or paint shapers if you have them\nRachel will provide 2 wooden panels for each participant (included in the ticket price). Please bring spare canvases\, boards or paper if you would like to work across multiple paintings\n\n\n\nRachel will also be bring spare crayons\, brushes and paint colours. There will also be a chance to look through the work of other artists on day two and all students will receive handouts on techniques and colour theory.\n\n  \n \n  \n\n  \nStanton Guildhouse\n \n  \n  \n \n

SUMMARY:Abstract Landscapes: 2 Day Workshop with Rachel Cronin
DESCRIPTION:Approaches to abstraction: Exploring shape and colour\n“Like a good poem\, a good abstraction attacks your feelings before your understanding.” Robert Genn \nIf you’ve wanted to create more abstract work and are interested in exploring new approaches to contemporary landscape painting\, then this workshop is just for you.  \nWorking with landscape artist Rachel Cronin you will spend two days receiving structured tuition on both the formal elements of making art like colour\, tone\, pattern and shape and the exciting ways you can break the rules of landscape painting. Because abstract painting is such a broad subject the focus will be on abstract use of colour and simplification of form and composition in this workshop.  \nDay one – based at Snowshill Manor Gardens (National Trust) \nOn day one you will begin with some expressive landscape sketches and then spend the day editing\, simplifying and reconfiguring elements to create several vibrant collages that simplify and abstract the landscape.  \nWe will spend our first morning gathering information from the grounds of the beautiful Snowshill manor by experimenting with several expressive drawing techniques such as using our non-dominant hand\, blind contour drawing and continuous line drawings.  \nWe will take ourselves on a colour finding walk and use our pencils and crayons to create collage papers of the shades and moods that we find in our venue. \nRachel will also talk you through an exercise that encourages you to focus on mass\, shape and line so that we begin to think about our paintings as an arrangement of differently scaled elements rather than trees\, flowers and borders. \nDuring the afternoon we will explore how different shapes relate to each other by using our collage papers and sketches to create new compositions.   \nDay two – based at Willersey Village Hall \nWe will begin day two by looking at our studies from day one and selecting one or two that grab our attention. We will work these up into a painting using a 30cm-by-30cm wooden painting panel that will be supplied. Rachel will demonstrate ways of working with a limited palette of acrylics so that you can create the colours you want from your paints\, paying particular attention to saturated and desaturated colours. \nYou will receive guidance on both how to start and how to build up a painting by creating textures that give your work a sense of history and depth. We will also spend time exploring the contrast between soft and hard edges and using dry media on top of our paintings. \nDay two will also help you to explore how far you want your work to venture into abstraction as we investigate new colour schemes and ways of simplifying our work further.  \nFor day 1 you will need: \n\nA portable sketching kit to include:\nA sketchbook (it doesn’t matter what size but you will need to carry it around!)\nA selection of pencils\, charcoal\, a rubber and a sharpener\nA brush pen\nA selection of colour pencils to include watercolour pencils\, Caran d’Ache Neocolour crayons\, coloured pencils\, Stabilo Woody crayons\, oil pastels\, soft pastels.\nA pair of scissors and a glue stick\n\nFor day 2 you will need: \n\nYour acrylic paints to include Lemon Yellow\, Ultramarine or Cobalt Blue\, Burnt Sienna\, Crimson\, and Paynes Grey\nA set of brushes suitable for use with acrylics\nA jar for holding your water\nA palette\nKitchen roll\nYour drawing kits and sketches from day one\nPalette knives or paint shapers if you have them\nSpare canvases\, boards or paper if you would like to work across multiple paintings\n\nRachel will also be bring spare crayons\, brushes and paint colours\, so do not panic if there is something you don’t have! There will also be a chance to look through the work of other artists on day two and all students will receive handouts on techniques and colour theory. \nNote: This will be a workshop for those with some experience of painting. \nTickets £210 (13 places) to include the cost of entrance to Snowshill and a 30cm x 30cm wooden painting panel \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n
