A New workshop for Phoenix Pottery, delivered for us by Helen Worthington of Evendawn Arts, Chorley. Helen’s hosted a number of acrylic and watercolour workshops for us, always a beautiful calm, creative environment. You will leave with a few extra painting skills, a stunning personal creation and a calm piece of mind A full outline drawing of the Poppies will be provided for you on special acrylic paper, you’ll then be shown how to add all stages of the painting, to create a flower-filled meadow – perfect for the approaching Harvest season! There are several ‘layers’ of details which make up the picture, and you’ll get the opportunity to practice the various elements and techniques before starting the painting itself. By the end of the class, you will have a beautiful painting which will fit inside an A4 Frame. Please don’t forget to bring something with you to carry your project home in, as some of the paints may still be damp when finishing the class – a small A4 lidded tray or box will be fine. All of the materials and an apron will be provided. The workshop is suitable for beginners (from Age 14 upwards), and also for anyone who has previously tried acrylic painting before. Acrylic paints can stain clothing and be permanent when dry, so please ensure you wear appropriate clothing (not your best outfit) when attending this class!
