Inspired by William Scott, Line, Shape and Colour – with Michael Weller

William Scott was an abstract painter inspired by everyday objects and renowned artists such as Bonnard, Rothko and Cezanne’s tilting tabletops. A workshop led by Michael Weller on November 14-15 at Mottisfont Village Hall will focus on simplifying shapes and colors through tabletop painting. Participants will engage in line drawings and colour studies, culminating in paintings. All skill levels welcome.
