Lots of discussion, friendly, relaxed but lots of useful information.  Notebook and pen essential.
It is highly advised that you do all 3 workshops as they build knowledge and understanding. Suitable for Associates who want to develop their work and maybe aim to become full members and any member who feels they would benefit.

  • how you approach your work, thoughts,
  • materials
  • techniques
  • composition
  • colour
  • tools
  • mark making
  • self critique
  • using photos, copyrights, the why?  
  • 'styles'
  • what interests you and much much more at a more at an advanced level. 
There will be lots of discussion of past and contemporary artists work and the complex ways they use the above and their relevance to your work.
Following that you will bring in work, maybe that you are having problems with and we will discuss, in light of the above, how to improve it and rescue it, take it to a higher level.
