During this workshop, we will start with some pencil sketches before building up to and working towards a finished painting either on heavy weight paper or on canvas for a small additional cost. Different compositions will be set up using flowers and vases/vessels. We’ll explore how to capture 3 dimensional shapes and forms, we’ll also explore tone and shading. You will understand the value of drawing/painting out a sketch of your composition in a neutral earthy tone before introducing colour.
Basic materials will be provided but please feel free to bring along any favourite sketchbooks/pads or pencils/drawing materials that you may have or may want to use. Small canvasses will be available at an extra cost of £10.
ABOUT SARA
With over 15 year’s experience in her field, Sara's innovative approach to printmaking sees her combine traditional printing techniques including etching, silkscreen, collograph, photo polymer, relief and mono-printing. The combination of these techniques has become the artist's signature over the years. It is also Sara's marriage of traditional processes with a fresh design aesthetic that gives her work a lasting impact. Embracing the flexibility of printmaking, Sara has secured high profile commissions in the art, design, fashion, illustration, hotel and retail industries. Her work has been exhibited widely in London, Paris, Brussels, New York and Hong Kong.
Her works capture a delicacy and subtle beauty of line, pattern and palette. Juxtaposing architectural drawings or photographs with fine patterned fabrics and elements of the figure, Sara’s work is graceful and sensitive. The carefully composed layers of ink amalgamate to produce remarkably sophisticated images, close inspection reveals many “ghost like” images and tracings.
Clients include Soho House Group, Liberty London, Harilela Hotels, On Pedder, Shanghai Tang, The Peninsula Hotels, Rocco Forte Hotels, Selfridges & Co among others.
