MIKE SKIDMORE– PORTRAIT IN OILS MASTERCLASS AND WORKSHOP.
“I use traditional techniques to create compelling darks and evocative lights. To create shadows with depth I use overlaid layers of transparent paint (glazes) and I use more opaque paint to bring the lighter areas forward. My paintings always begin with a pencil drawing, followed by a grisaille (grey and white underpainting) to address composition and tone. I then work oils on top to create the finished colours and textures. This approach allows me to create pictures that explore character and suggest a narrative”.

JOSIE BROWN- GILDING MASTERCLASS AND WORKSHOP.
“This workshop will de-mystify and introduce the art of gilding with techniques suitable for including in paintings or books, on paper, vellum, canvas, etc., but notfor frames or furniture.
We will use 23¾ct gold leaf as well as other metals such as copper, aluminium and variegated gold to offer a range of gorgeous lustrousness! An exploration of the processes involved – learning how to lay various mordants (each of which gives a slightly different result), when to lay the leaf, and how to burnish it to a mirror-shine – will give a grounding from which to try more personal designs contrasting the diverse effects, as well as a useful reference to take away. Participants can bring their own designs to gild (keep these within 8 x 8cm size) or use those provided on the day, but only bring drawings as any painting or other embellishment is always applied after gilding”
