Tutor Sharmina Haq

(Lunch 12.30 - 1.00pm)

This one day workshop is suitable for those with a little experience in fine art painting and those at a more intermediate level.

Workshop Details
An introduction to the centuries-old art form of miniature painting, using traditional Indo-Persian techniques.

The focus of this introductory workshop will be on trees commonly depicted in Persian miniature paintings, in particular the Cypress and almond blossom tree. We will practice how to draw and paint them using Persian miniature brush techniques. The tutor will also highlight traditional paper treatments, pigment and gold paint preparation to be used for their paintings.
 
By the end of the class, students will have a basic, practical understanding of how tress are drawn and painted with traditional methods and materials.
