I've had the privilege to teach and share lots of contemporary mixed media art techniques with a full class of really keen artist recently at Parcevall Hall in North Yorkshire.
We packed a lot into our short 4 day October art break with lots of painting days spent in the unique and mature gardens surrounding the hall - a real inspiration for all of us.
 |
| Just one of the inspirational locations at Parcevall Hall - the mature orchard. All set up and ready to begin... |
 |
| The loose drawing completed - the first marks begin... |
 |
| Big brush techniques with lots of very fluid watercolour for expressive painting first layers - love it! |
 |
| The painting develops with the addition of acrylic inks and stronger applications of Gouache... |
 |
| The next stage...angling the board for greater control for the mixed media wet in wet washes... |
 |
| The painting back in the studio showing mixed media in action and big brushes controlled in different ways. Using the brushes to both draw and paint with at the same time shows how all that complex detail is dealt with. Looking forward to developing and finishing this one! |
Studio painting days and evening demonstrations in the hall together with exciting painting days in the beautiful gardens at Parcevall Hall filled everyones sketchbooks, painting albums and portfolios with lots of new work exploring lots of different media.
