"A fantastic Workshop.  Can't wait to do more."

A Masterclass with Artist Lesley Birch

on Sunday April 17th, 2016 - Helmsley Arts Centre, Yorkshire

How does colour affect you?  Can you mix specific colours to convey or arouse particular emotions?  How can you place colour on the support?  What marks can you make with colour?  What is your personal palette? 

This workshop offers a special opportunity to spend time playing with the power of colour using acrylics and other media with direction and teaching from exhibiting artist Lesley Birch. 


You’ll be encouraged to experiment and take risks with mark-making and colour choices.  Lesley will give insights into her own ways of working as well as referring to other artists’ approaches.

This workshop would suit artists with some painting experience, although beginners are also very welcome.

For lunch you can bring a packed lunch or purchase sandwiches nearby.
