Lesley is famous for her collages and paintings of birds,
flowers and Japanese art. This short course will teach basic
gouache painting techniques and how to create collage grounds
with a variety of paper.
Using the themes of flowers, fruit, birds and Japanese Art we
will aim to work on 2 paintings. Saturday (Day 1). In the
morning we will create 2 collage grounds on stretched
watercolour paper (half sheets or full sheets if you are keen).
Paper is sealed with binder medium and matt medium
is used to apply the collage material in a way to complement
the theme.
The afternoon we will spend learning about gouache as a medium
and ways to apply it to collage grounds. We will draw up the
subjects of our paintings ready to transfer to the prepared grounds.
Sunday (Day 2): Transferring drawings to collage grounds and
painting with the aim of completing the 2 works.
Over the weekend Lesley will provide information and
demonstrations and will work with individuals as requested.
She will provide a full materials list and is available for advice
and assistance in this regard before the class.
