Tuesday 21 January, live demo, Centre 70, 7.30pm
Artist and Tuesday morning class tutor, Claire Cross, will give a live demo on creating an atmospheric landscape in pastels on a dark acrylic background.
Claire will start with a black background and draw from the darkest shadows to the lightest lights, letting the painting emerge from the darkness using the vivid and strong colours chalk pastels can give. She will make use of the negative space formed by objects and shadows to illustrate with colour and light the depth of the subject.
Claire says: “I am always inspired by nature and enjoy portraying landscapes in this unusual way, using the background colour to inform the rest of the picture.”
Non-members are welcome to attend (£5 – free for members).
