Kate Measham’s upcoming exhibition at the Made in the Pewsey Vale Gallery starts in December, featuring lino prints, Christmas cards, and paintings, with an online catalogue available for those unable to attend. Future workshops in 2025 will explore landscape and portrait painting in Andalucia. Additionally, various painting courses will begin in January, focusing on new or fresh starts and challenging work.
This oil painting course, led by Kate Measham, offers a supportive environment for beginners or those with some experience. Over three months, students will partake in two-day workshops each month, focusing on exercises to enhance oil painting skills. The course emphasizes experimentation, enjoyment, and the development of good working practices. Students are encouraged to bring specific materials for the course. The aim is to build confidence and remind participants of the joy in painting with oils.
This course with tutor, Kate Measham, is a space to rethink the familiar, to look afresh – to paraphrase IKEA, ‘A world of inspiration from your home”
We all have things about our houses that may be ordinary, may be the cup you choose to use each day for your first coffee, or a slightly chipped bowl that used to belong to an aunt. You may find the startling yellow of a bleach bottle, or the pleasing shape of a pot of marmite worth a second look. It is the incidentals that make life just a bit brighter.
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.
