Explorations of the possibilities of the window in painting...
Looking in, looking out, a frame within a frame.The role of the window has changed in painting from a supporting role, one of many motifs, to becoming a subject in its own right. During this 2-day workshop, participating artists will respond to the idea of window within painting: from the framing of views to the abstraction of the painted frame.
Artists are asked to bring drawings/photos of their favourite window(s) and the view beyond as the springboard for their paintings.
TUESDAY - The workshop will begin will an introductory 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.
WEDNESDAY - 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 a different space this time in the Basement Gallery at Creek Creative. Access is through the door on the left as you enter the building and turn right at the bottom of the stairs. Artists will also be able to drop off their stuff on Wednesday afternoon- I’ll be there from 3pm setting up the space. 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!
