What will I need to bring?
You should bring a watercolour pad, basic set of watercolour paints, an apron, a drawing pad and pencil, and a medium sized household paint brush. Shared tools including palettes, paintbrushes and easels will be available for your use but you are welcome to bring your own. Artwork will need to be taken away between weeks, so please bring something to transport your work. We find a vegetable box is suitable.
Location
Art Studio, The art studio is situated at the top of a flight of stairs. Tools are all light and accessible. Work benches are not currently height adjustable.
Tutor
Julia Roach is an established visual artist and facilitator whose practice is primarily focused on experimenting with mixed media, graphite and inks. Julia’s work often features collected and found objects. Drawing is intrinsic part of her creative process and my approach is predominantly figurative incorporating colour and exploring a variety of mark making approaches. Julia holds a BA in Painting from Canterbury College of Art and an MFA from Newcastle University.
