Guest Event – ‘Oil and Liquin’ with Kieran Stiles

Explore the links between Edouard Manet and last still life paintings of Ken Howard RA and learn how to use Liquin with oils to produce a fluid and free flowing brush mark. The addition of Liquin creates a gell-like film resulting in a less gritty textural effect, but more of a fluid sweep. Working on canvas from direct observation of floral still life, learn how to experiment with different brush techniques to indicate a sketchy impression of how light appears on the petals of a rose.

All materials provided, expect for some A4 paper for notes and an A3 canvas board, which you will need to bring. Do also bring a rose or two of your choice if you wish to personalise your still life.

This workshop is payable in advance and non-refundable or transferable after 5 days before the event date.
