If you love working with colour and always wanted to let loose on canvas then this workshop is for you. Kate will share with you her art processes, techniques and passion for pattern. You will achieve three vibrant canvases ready to put on your wall.

Description

On day one you will be looking at how colours can tell a story. She will take you step by step through how she creates a piece of art, teaching you each layer that she uses so that you can produce your own colourful and expressive canvases.

Day two Kate will explain the thought processes that go into designing her art, enabling you to go on to plan and create your very own original mini series of work, developing and utilising the techniques learnt the previous day.

At the end of this two day course you will go home with a painting on paper and 3 paintings on canvas, as well as an increased confidence and skill to be able to know how to design and create your own colourful artwork.

Additional information

Artist Info:	I am Kate Green, a mixed media abstract artist. I live in Cambridge with my husband and 3 daughters, and work from my garden studio, when I'm not painting live at an event. I'd describe myself as a SONG PAINTER, using paint to 'sing with colour'. Visceral, visual utterances of shape, hue and mark are my vocabulary – a whole heart, mind, body & soul thing. I love colour and movement, pattern and detail, working in layers and getting messy. I'm excited by the extravagant dimensions and intimate details that I see in creation – a joyfulness in the very act of creating and aim to reflect this in my work. My style leans towards abstract expressionism, seeking to represent and communicate things unseen, making the invisible visible. I love to encourage creativity in others. It adds dimension, taste, depth, texture and richness to life, aiding expression, taking us beyond the seen and ordinary.
