About this Event
Join us for a special Art for Breakfast with Matthew Draper in conversation with journalist and author Jan Patience, exploring his new exhibition, The Small Isles.
Eigg, Muck, Rum and Canna are among Scotland’s most captivating islands, loved for their dramatic landscapes, changing weather and extraordinary light. Over the past two years, Matthew has returned repeatedly to the west coast, observing these islands from the mainland and capturing their changing moods in chalk pastel and charcoal.
In conversation with Jan Patience, Matthew will share the stories behind his travels, the challenges of working directly from the landscape and how he translates fleeting moments of light and atmosphere into his remarkable paintings and drawings.
Jan is a familiar and engaging voice in Scottish art, and this promises to be a lively and insightful conversation, with an opportunity to ask Matthew your own questions.
Enjoy a morning surrounded by Matthew’s beautiful new work and discover what makes these islands such an enduring source of inspiration.
