Poets, writers, and artists of all sorts have been inspired by trees. Their majesty, age, embrace, rise and fall with seasons, the bleakness of a dying tree and the wonder of new growth have inspired people in a variety of ways. This course offers a fresh look, exploring different approaches with reference to creative giants over a great spread of time.
If you have followed any of our ‘On the Shoulders of Giants’ workshops you may recognise a similarity – instead of working from one artist we are examining one theme.
Michael Weller, a seasoned tutor, will guide a two-day oil painting course at Mottisfont Abbey, Hampshire, focusing on landscapes and abstraction. The setting, a neo-classical home surrounded by gardens, woodlands, and farmland, provides an enticing backdrop. The workshop takes place on the 27th and 28th of November, 2023, costing £215, with the first day being a fieldwork day and the second painting from studio. Experience in drawing is beneficial, but all levels are welcomed.
