As part of her participation in the Studio9 Artists exhibition, Margie Haslewood is offering a workshop designed for beginners or for those wishing to explore intuitive/expressive painting. Come and have some fun exploring a really different way of creating art. (Intuitive means instinctive and when used in painting, we connect with our emotions or feelings when painting, without being conscious of doing so.)
We will supply the materials used in the class and you will take your masterpiece home with you. In this 2.5 hour beginners, introductory class, we will explore mark-making with various tools and mediums on paper. There is no 'need to be' perfect or precise. You will be the master of your own creation.
We will start by tapping into our emotions with prompt words. We will use a limited palette (2 complementary colours) Then, using pencils and other dry media we will add marks. Break free by using our non-dominant hand to make marks freely across a partitioned piece of paper. We will continue with collage and colour to make further marks as we finish off our paintings. You will be guided every step of the way with ideas, but you will be encouraged to discover your own expression in this piece.
