Tutor - Catherine Knight

2-day workshop

Saturday 8 February, 10.30am - 4.30pm and Sunday 9 February 2025, 10.30am-3.30pm

Explore the interiors, still life studies, and landscapes of two of the leading figures of the Bloomsbury group - Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant. Use oil paint to gain an understanding of their distinctive style and colour palette, using coloured grounds and layering the paint. On the second day, we will create our own compositions inspired by these seminal British artists.

Please bring an apron or wear clothes suitable for a studio environment. We recommend bringing your own brushes if you have them, as the brushes we have are student quality, rather than fine artist quality. You will need to bring a bag to take work home with you at the end of the two days, bearing in mind, work will likely still be wet.
