Taster: Landscape Painting with Acrylics, with artist, Pippa Sinclair, Sat 27 June, 10am – 1pm
We are delighted to welcome Pippa to ArtAffect for a Taster course, open to 16+years and suitable for complete painting beginners as well as people with previous experience. This course can be viewed as a follow-on to the course by Deborah Fallas, or as a Taster for new participants. All materials provided and cupfuls of tea and platefuls of biscuits also provided! This course will open out new possibilities for participants who want to continue their work with acrylics when we move the the new Art Centre in the old Bakery in Jedburgh, with a further 5 week landscape painting in acrylic course in November.
'The act of considering and portraying landscape can calm and inspire as it focuses the mind on that beautiful wild place. Acrylic is a wonderful versatile paint.In this workshop we will create small, explorative and experimental landscape studies from photographic references to build confidence with using acrylics, colour and composition.To support this we will investigate the colour wheel, using a limited palette and why this is useful in landscape painting.We will find inspiration from some of the landscape Masters from beautiful art books from the Gledhill Arts Library.'This will be a fun, non judgemental, friendly space and we hope you can join us!
Please note that acrylics do not easily come out of clothing so please wear old clothes if you have some - just in case!
If you can’t afford the full price but would love to participate, please contact us directly (jmanley@artaffect.co.uk) for a concessionary price.
ABOUT PIPPA SINCLAIR
‘I am a landscape painter based in the beautiful Scottish Borders. I try to create paintings that capture a little of the escapism and joy that I feel from my surroundings.
I am excited by the endless possibilities of paint itself and work in a mixture of techniques always looking for ways to use the quality of the paint to capture a sensation. By adding texture and varying finishes I hope to bring a high level of surface interest to my art so they change under different lighting conditions.
My investigations centre around ways of conveying space, light and effect and I enjoy playing with dimensions and ways of seeing. It is the spatial presence of trees, watercourses and birds that continually draw me.
My paintings, although referenced from life, are completed in the studio. By the nature of this process painting becomes a meditative act of remembering and I am trying to capture a representation of a memory rather than specific realism.’
