We're delighted to announce at 11am on Thursday 18th June renowned artist Nicky Philipps will be demonstrating how to paint a still life.She will walk through the various stages of painting a still life. She will explain the initial set up, how to plan the best use of light, including how it will dictate shadows to create form, and discuss composition. Nicky will have up to 2 hours to paint, in oil, starting with the mid tones, adding in the darks and then building up the lights. As the painting progresses, she will explain her use of colour and how to mix the right shades. She will welcome questions on composition, brushes, paint, mediums, canvas, and her own technique throughout the demonstration.
A delicious buffet lunch at Maria’s Courtyard Restaurant will follow and is included in the ticket price. This is a rare opportunity to experience a behind-the-canvas look at the creative process of one of the most prestigious artists in the country.
Nicky painted Queen Elizabeth II three times, the Princes William and Harry, as well as Falklands War veteran Simon Weston, who was chosen by the public to have his portrait displayed in the National Portrait Gallery as part of a BBC documentary.
Tickets are £49.50, 10% discount for all Season Pass Members.
