JOHN RUSKIN'S SKIES WORKSHOP
With Sandra Orme, pastel artist
Takes place in the Learning Studio
Join Sandra Orme, award-winning pastel artist, to explore using pastels to create evocative works of skies inspired by the techniques of John Ruskin.
In ‘Modern Painters’, Ruskin devotes chapters to ‘Of truth of Skies’, discussing how artists should represent many different kinds of clouds - from the thinnest wisps to the most tumultuous storm clouds- and above all, what makes these depictions feel ’true’.
We will spend two days devoted to our own ’truth of skies’.
You will explore recreating different clouds, shapes, styles and colours and above all, from the wild to the wispy, recreate beautiful skies in pastel.
All materials will be provided.
