Term 2 will see us return to looking at the landscape through a number of different lens;
First day we will meet at the hall on day one
START DATES :11th and 12th May
and work from some photo reference that i already have of the
BOTANICAL GARDENS MANUREWA..acquainting ourselves with the gardens and running through exercises which will help us with what to look for on the location day in Manurewa
there is a great cafe there where we can meet up for coffee and escape to if we have a shower or two
i would like to do a number of different exercises this term, having a look at landscape through shape with a view to collage,
also multiples ( a grouping of say 9 little panels that can read as one work) and
an intensive ‘Ten paintings in one day” on gessoed paper
we will also do some “fresco brush” painting and some other works on paper too
Here are a few shots of the gardens plus some works by Gerda Leonnards who does beautiful moody multiples
i will send you some images by email nearer to the time so you can print them out to work
DRAWING WORKSHOPS
MAY 5&6 are full but still a few places on the 11th & 12th APRIL one .. (saturday and sunday coming)
