![]() ![]() Mum and I met up recently, and were so excited to show each other everything we'd been working on since Kate's workshop. Since I've been home, everyone has been getting home-made cards - jelly prints, art pastels on black paper, even some with everything mixed together! My mum and I have different styles and ideas and through Kate's instruction both gained so much from the experience. Kate has a wealth of knowledge and enthusiasm, making us feel safe and encouraged to explore our creative sides. It was really great to get to try so many different techniques, tangents and mediums on the first day and then delve further in different directions on the second. My mum and I came for the Two-Day Workshop. ![]() "We had a super time with Kate and with the course. Happy painting ?Ģ1 Jun 22' Tessa Berry reviewed: Two day painting workshop in West Pembrokeshire with Kate Freeman It was lovely to meet you, and hope to see you again. I'd love to see some photos of your paintings sometime! Best of all, you've carried on working using techniques learned during your time here. I'm so glad you found the course inspiring. " Thank you Julia - it was a pleasure to share my favourite painting practices with you and Tessa. Thank you Kate you are inspirational.ĪND beautiful setting, spacious studio, real coffee, tasty veggie lunches, delicious cake and ‘wine o clock’ - all such a treat." Coach House Studio responded: We are still both regularly pursuing some of the multi media techniques and I love using the mindful drawing as a starter. We came way with a folder and sketchbook of our own examples which I am still enjoying working on. Her enthusiasm and encouragement is infectious. A real eye opener – exciting, engaging, totally absorbing, some times daunting but lots of fun. Kate took us on an incredible journey learning how to use and integrate different colours, materials and techniques. This course giving us the opportunity to investigate the ‘nuts and bolts’ of making a painting not ‘painting pictures’ really appealed. We both enjoy doing a variety of ‘arts and crafts’ as enthusiastic amateurs. Sorry to take so long to write about our wonderful experience. "My daughter and I did this 2-day course with Kate in early June. I have a large collection of Artist monographs and other art books which students are welcome to browse, and refer to during sessions.Ģ8 Jun 22' Julia Berry reviewed: Two day painting workshop in West Pembrokeshire with Kate Freeman and a glass of wine at the end of the day! Great coffee, tea and home made cake for breaks. Spending two days dedicated to art making enables students to develop particular aspects of the painting process that are relevant to their own personal practice.Įach day culminates in a wine o'clock seminar discussion of the work produced.Īll painting materials and papers are included, and each student will receive an A4 sketchbook, to be filled with visual notes and ideas as we go along. Experienced painters who wish to "get out of a rut" will also benefit. Many of the exercises are great block busters for those days when you want to paint, but don't know where to start. We use a variety of tools to apply paint, and there are plenty of other media available to experiment with, including inks, graphite, pens and oil pastels. We will be investigating the 'nuts and bolts' of making paintings, not "painting pictures"! ![]() We begin each day with some 'warm-up' drawing and mark making exercises, before launching in to Colour Mixing, Experimental Techniques, Collage and Composition.Įach subject will be clearly explained, and Kate will demonstrate techniques, and provide assistance or advice as required!Īll of the skills aquired during these sessions are applicable to students' own work, whether Abstract or more 'traditional' subject matter. An opportunity to really get involved, this two day workshop incorporates all of the themes explored in the half day and one day classes ( please refer to previous listings for details ). ![]()
