'Creativity takes courage' 

The portraits and self-portraits of Henri Matisse are the springboard for this 2-day ‘Freedom in Painting’ workshop… 

In advance of the course, participating artists will be asked to draw their chosen subject (or self-portrait) and bring in their studies to develop into painting(s) during the workshop. 

   

  

THURSDAY - The workshop will begin will a brief talk, followed by a group exercise.  The rest of the time will be spent on individual working, with plenty of one to one tuition with Ashley during the two days. 

FRIDAY - There will a second group exercise on Friday morning, followed by individual working.  At 3.15 we’ll clear the studio in preparation for an invaluable Group Critique to start at 4pm.

Our studio is in the Basement Gallery space at Creek Creative. Access is through the door on the left as you enter the building. Artists will also be able to drop off their stuff on Thursday afternoon- I’ll be there from 3pm setting up the space. Artists can also enter/drop off their stuff via the Fire Exit at the rear of the building on Friday morning. Lunch will be from 12.15 to 1pm both days. There is a fantastic café at Creek Creative and lunch can be ordered in advance.  There will kettle, tea and coffee in the studio but please bring a mug/cup!

"Ashley's concern as an artist and teacher, is to unleash the emotional response to the subject matter that enables the painter to take risks, discover a 'personal colour palette that excites' and to provide the fresh vision of Britain's natural beauty that places him within the long tradition set by the masters of the landscape genre." Dr. Sally Bulgin, Editor, ‘The Artist’ magazine, February 2013
