 DRAWING INTO PAINTING
Tutor - Dominic McIvor
27th & 28th May 2023

Delve into creating energetic drawings and paintings on this 2 day mixed media workshop taught by Dominic McIvor!
This Workshop will involve working outside in the beautiful surroundings of Cockenzie House on the first day.  You will learn how to create lots of dynamic drawings and process the abundance of information in the gardens through energetic mark-making!  On the second day, you will have the opportunity to develop these studies further into acrylic mixed media paintings, exploring the use of collage to create shape, new marks and layers!  VIEW MORE

 ABSTRACTING THE LANDSCAPE
Tutor - Jo Perkins
3rd & 4th June 2023

Develop your skill in translating the landscape in an explosion of colour!  Join Jo Perkins for two days of intensive colour, mark and expression!  Using a mixed media approach, you will work towards creating a colourful abstracted landscape and take home a toolbox of skills to use in the future.

You will be working both in the beautiful gardens surrounding Cockenzie House and in the studio using photos for reference. It will be a weekend revelling in all the fabulous inspiration that nature has to offer!  VIEW MORE
