Wed 18th May 10am - 12pm
(UK timings)
This LivePlus™ online workshop is ideal for anyone wanting to explore mixed media techniques. It is a work-along workshop and so we would encourage students to have their materials to hand, ready to participate live during the class.
Workshop details
We will look at creating a lively, colourful impression of summer flowers using a variety of different media & techniques. We will paint, print, layer & spatter, combining a range of approaches. Techniques taught will include inventive mark-making with different tools (even a bit of finger-painting!), painting loosely with acrylics, and expressive linework with pastels & pens.
First we will look at ways to simplify flower forms and capture their essence without worrying about the detail. Then, using our paints, we will create loose interpretations of flowers and foliage with the emphasis on big blocks of colour and tone. We will add a final layer of marks, pattern elements and linework to create depth and selective detail.
No experience necessary and you don’t need to be able to draw – this is not a botanical painting class!
Specific skills you will learn at the workshop

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.
Karen 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.
