Arc of Colour

A two day painting workshop – focusing on darkness and light. Saturday 5th July & Sunday 6th July: Each day begins at 10am and finishes at 4pm.

Join me for the weekend and step into the immersive, colourful world of the studio-painting in the beautiful surrounds of Emerson College. In this process-led workshop I will demsonstrate and share techniques and approaches to the dynamics of painting. We’ll explore ‘Presense’ in abstract painting, deepening colour space and exploring structure. We’ll build composition’s, experience differing colour moods and relationships by focusing on wholeness.

Goethe found that the eye delights in polarities; warm and cool colours, light and darkness. In the act of looking the eye actively creates inner colours in response to the outer, so seeking a wholeness to balance each moment.

“chosen are those artists who penetrate to the region of that secret place where primeval power nurtures all evolution…who is the artist who would not dwell there? In the womb of nature at the source of creation where the secret key to all lies guarded.” – Paul Klee from his Manifesto for the Art of the Inner Eye (1924)
