Free to KAG Members. £5 charge for non-members.
In the last KAG May Exhibition, Sarah’s painting ‘Jungle Ember’ was voted favourite painting, and is one example of her ‘Textured Acrylic’ artwork. In this demonstration, we will find out more about how Sarah created this tiger painting (and others), and how she uses layers and textures in her acrylic paintings to create drama and depth.
Sarah has been working as an artist for 10 years, and has 15 years of teaching experience. Today, she regularly teaches four adult art groups, and also runs workshops for children/ children and parents, art societies, and private classes. Her artwork is mostly inspired by nature and folklore, and although Sarah switches between using watercolour and acrylics, playing with textures is what connects all her main artworks.
Workshop exploring mixed media, texture and layers with acrylics by Sarah Miles
Saturday 31st October. Starts at 10am until 3pm in Kineton Village Hall
Cost to attend is £40 for KAG Members and £45 for Non Members.
Texture is something that really interests Sarah, and she has previously shown us some of her techniques using texture and other mediums alongside watercolour, but in this workshop, she will be guiding you through using texture with acrylics instead. You will learn to make an abstract background using a variety of textures, the importance of layering and varying shape, colour and tone. After this, you will paint on a subject of your choice, but Sarah will be bringing objects or reference images with simple shapes such as pumpkins and other autumnal vibes for more inspiration. You will learn about drawing your subject onto your canvas with either charcoal or paint, and then how to paint in your subject but allow for the background textures and patterns to show through. This approach creates a beautiful blend of abstract with realism, and will appeal to both beginners and artists looking to evolve their styles.
You can bring whatever you wish to use from pastel coloured paper, watercolour paper, cartridge paper, canvas. Watercolour, Acrylic paints, oil pastels, chalk pastels and coloured watercolour pencils and images of landscapes but it will be essential to bring acrylics as this is the primary medium being covered in the workshop.
