With artist Kieran Stiles

Explore ideas about peripheral vision and why abstraction is interesting. This workshop is about creating textural effects by experimenting with mixed media. 

When combining the fast drying polymer resin binder of acrylic paint with layers of watercolour washes, the medium becomes sticky and begins to granulate, creating blending effects.

Learn how to experiment with this process when describing the texture of trees.

Discover how depictions of trees have evolved in art history from Turner and Constable to Pissarro and Van Gogh, as illustrated in the Ashmolean's permanent collection.

Castle Wood by Kieran Stiles

Participants will have the chance to learn from Kieran Stiles and produce their own acrylic paintings.

All materials will be provided.

This event is part of our Love & Legacy season of events.
