Join us this midsummer, surrounded by the warmth of the sun on the longest day, as we invite you to immerse yourself in the vibrant world of watercolours. Let your creativity bloom just like the petals of a sunflower, each brushstroke capturing the essence of this radiant floral in all its glory.
Come, paint with local artist Zoë Duncan, as she returns to share her expertise in this study of a beautiful sunflower.
In this 2 and a half hour workshop, you will learn how to capture the essence of this beautiful flower harnessing its strking qualities through the use of colour and water. You will learn how to lift off painted surfaces, with brushes, paper, sponges (or even under the tap!) allowing soft edges to appear. You will also learn how to create effects in the background using negative painting - and how a looser approach can breathe life into your work.
Zoë trained at the City and Guilds London Art School, studying for a Post Grad Diploma in Sculpture and Drawing. She is a hugely experienced teacher, having taught art to adults and children for over 16 years, including as a tutor at Waterperry Gardens, at her own studio and at workshops within schools, and local art groups in both Bucks, and Oxfordshire.
As an artist, Zoë is drawn to the natural world and especially those whose movement is affected by the different elements of air and water. Zoë's work has been sold through galleries in Oxfordshire, London and Buckinghamshire and her commission work is in collections around the world, including in the UK, Sweden, Denmark, Switzerland, Australia and the USA so we are in very capable hands.
This class is suitable for absolute beginners, as well as more experienced painters and everyone will leave with their own sunflower watercolour picture.
This class will be held at our Studio in Holmer Green.
