At the heart of it, Adrienne loves teaching a range of art making fundamentals and her workshops suit beginner level and beyond.
Her positive mentoring approach allows for a fun and rewarding learning experience. To understand techniques and materials and apply that to hands-on mess making is fundamental to creating works of great care, or of wild expression, of your own!
This full day workshop moves beyond the colour wheel to guide students in mixing blacks, greens and skin tones and gain a greater understanding of hues. Students create a practical, take-home record through the day and apply mixed colours to basic still life objects to increase their knowledge of colour values and colour composition.
Length: 1 or 2 Days
Let’s design a workshop to suit your group’s needs. We can study still life compositions, learn life drawing, experiment with all mediums and surfaces, and learn the fundamentals of mark making and how to use this in your work. We can venture into the far horizon to under and apply one and two point perspective. Any of these techniques are fundamental to advancing your work.
Length: 1 or 2 Days
Workshop durations can be developed to suit students, sites and the local climate. From tips on putting together a plein air sketching kit, through to observational and experimental outdoor drawing, students will gain a greater understanding of the importance of drawing and painting from life and apply that to developed works.
Length: 1/2, 1 or 2 Days
A wet and wild event for those who have used watercolour before, we’ll create multi layered works focussing on the luminosity of watercolour and the robustness of the papers. The days can be tailored to suit local subject matters. A great workshop for using and then stepping away from the formal rules of watercolour, and loosening up your sketching and painting practice.
Length: 1 or 2 Days
A hugely creative day or multiple days where we make our own drawn, painted, and printed surfaces to cut and tear for finished collaged pieces. Abstracted compositions are explored along with different paper surfaces including Japanese Washi. Multi day workshops will allow us to create larger and more intricate works using considered markmaking techniques.
Length: 1 or 2 Days
