Demo – colourful still life using mixed media.

Adrienne studied Graphic Design in Durban, and moved to the UK in 1997. Her style is expressive, energetic and spontaneous: “I love the immediacy of mark making and the unpredictability of that approach. It enables me to combine all I have ever learnt about illustration, painting and design. This is when my heart beats a thousand times a minute … I am on edge and the adrenalin is flowing. I constantly endeavour to engage my viewers by drawing them into another world.”

Urban scene in mixed media – Christine is a painter/printmaker with a love of urban landscape and architecture, particularly those less glamorous glimpses.

‘The backs of buildings can often reveal more of their personality than the renovated fronts, and an untidy backyard especially.  I love small-scale domestic architecture – the sort of houses that ordinary people live in. I sketch wherever I go – this enables me to get a real understanding of the location I’m in. but the paintings and prints are much more about the feel and memory of many places, rather than one.

I am a member of the Society of Graphic Fine Art and  Ochre Print Studios in Guildford. I have exhibited regularly with the SGFA in locations throughout the country.”

Rosie Casselden

Workshop – using glazes to change the value of colours either subtly or quite dramatically. We’ll layer up a number of glazes with acrylic paint.  You’ll be given some fruits to trace and block in, then you’ll add blushes and shadows using transparent glazes, using a stippling brush and liner for detail work. Rosie will bring all the materials and equipment so you’ll have exactly what’s needed.  Please let Bev know if you want to attend.  Members only

Meet at 10am till 2pm with a break for lunch. All outdoor painting sessions will be subject to weather conditions.  A member of the group will be there to act as leader for the day.
