St Ives and the Sea
|
The Artists of St Ives are united through the love of the sea, abstraction, colour and form, and throughout this 5 week course we will explore the harbour and coastal forms as inspiration for making a body of exciting and explorative works!
Beginning with large scale drawings on location, we will look at dual perspective, finding mark, rhythm and repetition, before moving on to exploring colour and surface. How to abstract from observation, and finding your colour voice will be strong focuses throughout the course and on completion you will leave with a portfolio of ideas and finished pieces of work. A variety of media will be covered including working in both acrylic and oil paint. The course will look in depth at the works of Ben Nicholson, Wilhmenia Barnes-Graham, Patrick Heron, Peter Lanyon, William Scott, Roger Hilton and |
