Kandinsky style, still life painting
2024-02-15 10:00 - 13:00 | Abbot Hall Adult Social Centre, Dowker Lane, Kendal, LA9 5AA
Welcome to this fun session of making a Kandinsky style still life.
For this session you will need a large sheet of paper, pencil and rubber, a thick and thin waterproof ink pan and colours of your choice (watercolour or gouache is best). You will also need several articles for your still life. It would probaly be a good idea to share.
This idea was tought to me (Gill Impey) by Ruth Clayton (Wickerfish Studios), during lockdown, when she was making videos that would give people something to do. It’s amazing how the paintings turn out.
