January 4th – 6th Painting Workshop: Temperature

 

Nameer is back from Africa with a drawing process developed in his travels through Tanzania’s Usambara mountains, the Serengetti Plains, Lake Tanganyika and Zanzibar. In the last month he was immersed in a social drawing project in Lagos, Nigeria. The sweltering equatorial climate drew him to certain ways of addressing subject matter in his drawing – tonal and textural choices in the patterning of surface and development of spatial structure.

Now for this summer workshop we take temperature as a serious consideration in developing  the means of painting, cool to warm colour choices, the scale and texture of surface pattern and how they serve to develop a physical climate within the painting.

Barbara is developing a menu for the weekend that  reflects the theme of temperature and climate, her provisions are a major part of the weekend experience.

 

There are limited places available for this workshop, please use the contact page to show your interest in joining us for this first workshop of 2019.
