'Introduction to Seascapes' with Georgie Stewart

This workshop offers a unique opportunity to see and learn the use of mixed media to express the seascape with artist Georgie Stewart, accompanying her upcoming exhibition ‘Hermit’.

This session is for all lovers of the sea: wild swimmers, beachcombers, windsurfers and those who feel pulled to roam along the beach with a sketchbook in hand. Georgie will walk you through each stage of creating your own unique seascape painting, perhaps inspired by a particular coastal spot that is special to you.

We will begin with a discussion of contemporary artists and old masters who have looked to the sea - from Alfred Wallis and Turner to Tracey Emin’s Margate beach hut, and of course Hockney’s diverse approaches to representing water. Using mixed media techniques, you will learn all of Georgie’s tips and tricks on materials and their application, composition and creating atmosphere, before we move on to the painting itself. Please feel free to bring your own inspiration photograph; reference images will be provided for those who require them.

All Materials are provided by the Green and Stone.

All levels are welcome.
