Art and Crafts

Monday

Using three colours create a simple textured background on which the student will work into with another medium - Indian ink, marker pens or charcoal

Tuesday

Create a piece using different implements, cardboard, pallet knife, fingers and rags.

Wednesday

Working either on a new piece or a previously completed work create a collage using a variety of materials - newspaper, fabric, cardboard.

Thursday

Start a final piece, from an image brought by the student where they will plan how they will create a work using the techniques they have employed in the previous three days.

Friday

Complete and refine the final work.

Paints and materials will be supplied. However, I would encourage the students to bring in additional material that they would like to incorporate into their painting.

About Stuart

Born in England and brought up in Scotland, Stuart studied design and illustration in Aberdeen, he is now based in the Welsh Marches. He works in a variety of media including watercolour, gouache, acrylics and oils.

His paintings show the influence of the Scottish Colourists, yet he has a deep affinity with the English landscape. Since moving to the Welsh Marches in early 2018 his new work reflects his response to the beauty of the Welsh countryside.

With work exhibited in a number of galleries throughout the UK and with paintings in many private collections, he has a growing reputation that has attracted the attention of fine art buyers across the globe. Magdalen College, Oxford have purchased two pieces of his work for the their extensive collection of artwork.

Stuart is a regular tutor at the White horse bookshop in Marlborough and is often engaged to run workshops and to give demonstrations at art societies across England and Wales.
