About this Event
Start the new year painting!!!
Everyone knows David Hockney. My grandmother's cousin Derek Stafford taught him at Bradford Art college back in the 50's and was influential in his move to the Royal College of Art to further his career as an artist. He has always pushed the boundaries of what he could paint. I love Nichols Canyon (pictured above left), it shows the route through the hills to his home in California like you were driving through the landscape with him, patterns and shapes form on either side and are depicted like you are watching the journey from above.
Shara Hughes is a contemporary landscape painter who has been hugely influenced by Hockney. She uses dizzying brushwork, vibrant colors, and shifting perspectives to make paintings that depict kaleidoscopic visions of flora and fauna in the process of constant evolution.
I like the idea of putting their work together, the master and the student and ask you which painting would you choose to paint?
Exciting ha, all these sessions are relaxed and fun, so come to my studio and have a play with colour and pattern and recreate your very own Hockney or Hughes...
The session will run from 7-9pm on Tuesday 21st January.
All materials are provided, so you don't need to go to the art shop and spend a fortune.
Tea, coffee, water, biscuits will be provided.
