NEW! Peter Doig Workshop with Andrea Mossop
Sunday November 16th

Andrea Mossop
Internationally renowned artist, Peter Doig creates contemporary narratives with interesting juxtapositions of figure and landscape using fluid shapes and rich dramatic colour counterpointed by dramatically contrasted black. A relaxed fun approach to a fresh vision. Reviving the art of painting, Doig carries forward techniques of Canadians David Milne and James Wilson Morrice. Gauguin inspires Doig’s use of bold bright colours. For his spare, expressive arrangement of space, Doig looks to American realists, Edward Hopper, Milton Avery. Beginner to Advanced.

Learning to draw can be the gateway to self-expression and appreciation of the world at large. The course will cover the basic drawing principles and techniques such as proportional measurement, perspective and shading. The mediums used in the course are graphite, charcoal, conté, and pen. The focus is to build perception skills and hand-eye co-ordination, because all drawing is an active way of SEEING.
