Join artist Francesca Currie for a one-day workshop where you’ll create a large-scale abstracted landscape painting. Using a photograph of a place you love—or simply a scene that inspires you—you’ll be guided through the process of transforming it into a unique and expressive artwork for you to hang on your wall at home. The Artery Studios Worcester. 10-4pm One-day workshop. Overview: In this class, I will be teaching participants how to create abstracted landscapes similar to my own work—please take a look at my paintings before signing up. We will work on 1m x 1m canvases, starting with acrylic preparation before layering with oils. I will provide the brushes, paints, and tools I use, but I encourage you to bring any additional tools you’d like to experiment with. Throughout the day, I will give demonstrations and share the techniques I use to create these paintings. Things to Consider: • This process is fun and very physical, so be prepared for an active session. • You will have a large wet canvas at the end of the day—please plan ahead for transporting it home. • Working at this scale can get messy, so wear clothes you don’t mind getting paint on. • There will be some basic colour mixing required, some experience is helpful. Your Photograph: Part of the fun of this class is bringing your own landscape photograph. However, I will need to review the image beforehand to ensure: • It works well as an abstracted landscape. • I have the necessary colours available. Photo Guidelines: • Ideally, choose a landscape with the horizon one-third from the bottom. • Particularly successful images include trees or water (blues and greens) or skies that take up two-thirds of the composition. • Natural landscapes work best—buildings tend to be less effective. Materials You’ll Need: • Canvas: • • One 1m x 1m canvas. It can be a cotton canvas, and it’s up to you whether you choose a deep-edge canvas. • If you have a space in mind where you’d like to display your painting, feel free to select a canvas that fits those dimensions. • The canvas must be a minimum of 70cm and a maximum of 120cm on any given side—it does not need to be square. • Keep in mind that higher-priced canvases tend to be better quality. Below are some suggested options: • • Hobbycraft Canvas (£30): More affordable but flimsier. • Jackson’s Cotton Canvas (£50) or Winsor & Newton (£55ish): Stronger and more durable options. Links: • Jackson’s Premium Stretched Cotton Canvas • Hobbycraft Box Canvas (100cm x 100cm) • A hairdryer (if possible) • Any mark-making tools you’d like to try • Old clothes that can get messy • A way to transport your wet painting home (e.g., newspaper for car boot protection) • Optional: Ipad/tablet for your image so you can zoom in more. Looking forward to seeing you in class!
