A Workshop in Glazes, Washes, and
Expressive Painting
Step into a world where gardens become a realm of dreamlike
colour, subtle texture, and evocative abstraction. This immersive workshop
invites participants to explore the poetry of gardens around Rode Hall through
the luminous use of paint, harnessing glazing mediums, diluted acrylics and
acrylic inks. We will spend three creativity-filled days layering paint to
conjure atmospheric and ethereal compositions.
Materials
Provided
Rather than simply depicting a garden scene, we will delve
into the essence of the landscape—collecting impressions, textures, colours,
and forms that speak to the atmosphere and mood of these green spaces. Inspired
by the fairy tale wild gardens around Rode Hall, you'll gather marks, lines, and
shapes, transforming them into something new, evocative, and expressive.
