Adventures in Mixed Media (Mixed water based and graphic media)

Painting with David Cuthbert

June 7th – June 10th 2010

Join the many artists who, over the centuries have combined techniques and materials in their work –in the 16th century Holbein combined watercolour, ink and metal point, in the 19th century Turner combined watercolour with soot from the chimney for his blacks. Over the for days we will mix paint with collage, wax with watercolour, gouache with pastel and experiment with many more exciting and unexpected combinations.  

 

Painting the Romantic Landscape

Painting with David Cuthbert

September 27th to September 30th 2010

The Wye Valley Art Centre at Llandogo is the perfect setting for learning more about the romantic landscape tradition and enjoying a week’s painting.

In a mixed programme of talks, demonstrations and practical work we shall be looking at the practice and ideas of artists Alexander Cozens (1717-1786), Samuel Palmer (1805-1881) & Graham Sutherland (1903-1980) and how the notion of ‘romantic’ changed in three centuries.

Each of the three artists will be used as examples of different ideas about the romantic landscape – differences of technique as well as vision. Cozens will provide a wonderful introduction to an imaginative, materials based approach; Samuel Palmer’s early work at Shoreham will be the basis of a more developed fusion of imagination and observation; and finally Sutherland will inspire us to a more modern approach to the landscape tradition, which was forged not far away in Pembrokeshire.

NEO-ROMANTICISM IN BRITAIN 1935-1960: R101003

Start with dinner Friday 8 October                                                               Finish with lunch Sunday 10 October

A gentler, more lyrical imaginative counterpart to its more radical continental cousin, Surrealism, British Neo-Romanticism combined a love of place in the work of the Nash brothers and Graham Sutherland with the mysticism of Cecil Collins and the truculent subversiveness of Edward Burra.

This weekend course will be a celebration of the peculiarly poetic phenomenon of mid-century British painting.

from £128 to £196
