Chinese Brush Painting Tea Caddies

Antique caddies come in all shapes and sizes. The shapes can range from grand urns and chests to a simple everyday square box. Hand painted, the surface of the caddy lends itself to highly intricate or simple design. This makes the caddy both functional and decorative.

On today's course we will take our inspiration from old caddies and paintings from the recent Samuria exhibition at the British Museum. I look forward to sharing the day together.

This workshop is suitable for all skill levels, from complete beginners to those who have attended lots of Leo’s workshops before.

A light lunch, refreshments and all materials are included in the workshop fee.

Travel Sketchbooks

Join wildlife and travel artist Shelly as she shows you how to capture landscape and wildlife subjects inspired by worldwide destinations. Your tutor will use her own travel sketchbooks and reference images to help you understand the approaches to capturing sketchbook records of your own travels and how to develop a lively and fluid visual travel journal.

Through the use of pencil, pen and vibrantly coloured washes she will unpick some of the compositional techniques she uses when working en plein air. You can bring your own images with you to work from on the day if you want to, but there will be lots of inspiration in the room to use.

This workshop is suitable for complete beginners as well as more experienced artists looking for new tips and techniques.

Please bring your own art materials, as these are the ones you will use when on your own adventures. A light lunch and refreshments are included in the workshop fee.

Mark Making for Sketching

Spend a day getting to know how to use different art materials in this workshop that is all about experimentation and technique.

You will start by making a simple concertina book that you will then use to record your mark making so that afterwards you will have a reference book for future use when drawing and sketching.

Using a wide variety of media such as pencil, charcoal, graphite sticks, pastels, water soluble crayons, oil pastels etc. we will use these media in simple step by step exercises. These exercises will help you learn more about your materials and the kind of marks that you are able to make with them.  This workshop is experimental in nature so that you can have fun learning basic techniques that you can use in your own artwork in the future, using your concertina book as a reminder of what is possible.

This workshop is suitable for anyone looking to learn more about how to get the best from their art materials, from beginners to experienced artists.

A light lunch, refreshments and all materials are included in the workshop fee.
