About this event
Join Liz Hough for a one-day workshop in St Ives, starting out on the harbour, to capture its energy and unique atmosphere, with inspiration drawn from John Piper.
The day begins out on location in St Ives harbour, working with sketchbooks and charcoal to capture the energy and character of this busy coastal setting. You’ll respond intuitively to the harbour’s distinctive shapes while exploring mark-making, texture and tonal contrast to record a strong sense of place.
Back in the studio, after a tea break, Liz will demonstrate with collage, a limited palette of acrylics & charcoals, how to transform the studies into busy harbour scenes. You’ll explore layering, texture and composition, taking inspiration from John Piper’s approach to simplifying and reimagining the landscape.
