Level: All levels welcome.
This workshop involves drawing, cutting, collaging, editing, and painting to create an abstract sunflower design, with a focus on colour, composition, shape, and tone.
We will begin with careful observation and a loose drawing of some real sunflowers. Next, we will create a collage using ‘Notan’ theory with tonal papers. Finally, we will apply a colour scheme to our ‘Notan’ designs and use it to inform an abstract painting on canvas.
I will be there to guide you every step of the way. With each piece you create, you will be encouraged to discover your own unique style.
Materials provided: Sunflowers, a spotlight, charcoal rubbers, pencils, a set of A2 tonal papers, an A2 clear sleeve, tea, coffee and biscuits, expert tuition, detailed demonstrations, and one-to-one guidance.
