About this Event
Penicuik artist, Morag Donkin, will be leading a group of 8. You will be given the opportunity to paint a floral bouquet in acrylic paint, draw with oil pastels on paper and make a 1 hour study of a clothed life model using charcoal on paper. All materials will be provided, but if you have your own that you want to try and discuss with Morag during the session, this is encouraged. Often, as artists we will have unopened sets of materials, this would be a good opportunity to experiment in a supported environment. If you have a set of acrylic brushes, please bring along.
All abilities are welcome. You can expect 1 hour of painting, 1 hour of drawing with charcoal and 30 minutes making a study in oil pastel. The order of these opportunites will depend on which session you book. The morning group, 10am-1pm will start by painting, then will draw with oil pastels and finish with the charcoal study of a model from life. The group 1.30pm-4.30pm will start by drawing the life model, progress on to working with oil pastels and finish with painting. There will be a tea break, where semi skimmed cows milk will be provided. Please bring an alternative if required.
There is on street parking available, opposite the Navaar Hotel is often an easy spot. The group will take place in room 1 of the art centre, which is on the first floor. There is a chair lift if required, which can take a weight of up to 19 stone. You are encouraged to bring water to drink, you will not be permitted to eat in room 1 during the retreat.
