Gareth Edwards – Four-Day Painting Course


Event Details


Event Organiser:


Event Information

In this new course, you will make a fresh body of work each day in response to a poem or story that I read out each morning. We will spend time over coffee discussing the reading and our personal responses to it. We can then gradually develop our own ideas for colours, spaces, textures, and atmospheres to be processed on our prepared canvases and supports in the studio afterwards, these paintings can then be developed alongside ongoing discussion with myself about the inspirations and the technical challenges that surface. This should be an enjoyable and emotionally rewarding course for people who love literature, and the visual arts.”

Start time is 11am on Friday 5th and transport from and to Honiton station can be provided.
Finish at 3pm or after on Monday 8th.

ALL MATERIALS to include large canvasses (but you can still get them in your car), cradle boards, an array of supports in lots of sizes, acrylic paints, some oils,  brushes, a huge range of mark making tools.
A large studio to work in with you our own station with an easel.
All lunches provided with vegetarian food made fresh every day.
Tea, coffee, and water on tap all day.
