DYNAMIC FORMS WORKSHOP: Experimental Still Life Sat 4- Sun 5 October

An explorative, practical 2-day workshop to encourage a dynamic contemporary approach to still-life painting suitable for all levels of ability.
This lively and exploratory workshop invites you to reimagine still life as a dynamic and expressive practice. Combining drawing and observation of everyday items, we will explore new compositional possibilities in a playful and animated way, incorporating collaged elements to help shift perspectives and disrupt the familiar.

The focus will be on experimentation rather than producing a finished painting; participants will investigate ways of translating three-dimensional objects onto a two-dimensional surface, discovering fresh approaches through bold arrangements and visual invention. Alongside composition, we will also consider tonal value, thematic intention, and meaning in still life painting, offering a rich space to reflect and take risks, sparking new creative ideas for your future paintings.
