In this workshop you will be making paintings prompted by materials gathered from places along the Dorset coast. There are many ways to respond creatively to landscape, and in this workshop you will use material prompts to open up memories, associations and your imagination.
Frances is a plein air painter who uses water-based paints mixed with the stuff of each place she works with. Frances will bring samples of earths, chalks, clays and sands from places she knows and loves, like Charmouth in Dorset. She will explain how she works with these as pigments and textures, and will invite you to allow these materials to suggest images. The intention is that participants will feel they have visited some wonderful places and go home with paintings that speak eloquently of their experiences.
This course is open to all levels.
This workshop will take place at RWS Gallery on Whitcomb Street, just off Trafalgar Square.
