This LivePlus™ online workshop is a wonderful follow on for those who have taken a class with Lilian before, however it is also suitable for advanced beginners looking to stretch themselves and intermediates looking to refresh their skills. Each session will include tutor demonstrations and work-along elements, and you are actively encouraged to have your materials to hand as Lilian teaches.
Workshop details
The joy of food! Hungry artists over the centuries have worked on this. This course looks at the theme of still-life through the medium of household objects and food. It looks at the relationship between objects, colours, organic and non-organic forms. Given the time of year, we will be looking at vegetables like pumpkins and squash and combining these with objects like jugs. It is all about enjoying shape and colour.
This is a course about finding joy in your own creations, one in which we enjoy the skills you already have and develop them further. It is a not a course with a definitive result; it is about the process and learning to think creatively. It is about finding your own 'handwriting' in artmaking. The aim is to produce several personal studies of your own and to end the course able to draw the ingredients for dinner!
In the first class we will be drawing with pencil, Conté charcoal pencil, or traditional charcoal. We will focus on structure, looking at the underlying skeleton of the objects and how they relate to each other.
The second class will look at the wonderful and luscious colours of our study and we will be working freely in watercolours. This will be messy but hopefully fun. Be ready to play with paint and to think in colour!
Each session will include tutor demonstrations and work-along elements, and you are actively encouraged to have your materials to hand as Lilian teaches. You will be creating you own still life scene at home, rather than working from Lilian's set up or from photographs, so please allow space for this.

Additional Information
All Ardington ONLINE classes and talks are accompanied by their own online blackboard. Helpful and easy to use, they enable students and tutors to share resources, ideas and photos with each other – just as you would in a classroom environment.
Lilian will offer personalised critique / feedback via the blackboard for any work uploaded by students within thirty days of the class ending. You will be sent the link to access your blackboard in the week before your class begins and will have access for at least sixty days after the class ends.
After the live session has finished on Zoom, we will share the link to view the recording on the blackboard. You can watch the recording as many times as you like for sixty days.
We suggest that you do not buy any specialist materials more than one week in advance as, occasionally, a class may be cancelled due to low enrolment.

- A4 pad of watercolour paper, texture of your choice
- 2B or 3B pencil
- Conté charcoal pencil, compressed charcoal, or traditional willow charcoal sticks
- A pencil sharpener with storage for the shavings (so your fingers don’t get dirty and mark the page when working with very white paper)
- Faber-Castell kneadable art eraser
