Colour & Tone Workshops with Mark Fielding

Monday, 9 and 23 June from 10am to 12pm

Gallery artist , Mark Fielding , will be running two two-hour Colour and Tone Workshops .

The content of these workshops is based on the lessons Mark had with Robert Lenkiewicz and many years of teaching these methods.

In the first two-hour workshop on the June 9, Mark will introduce the idea of tone and how to use it successfully to create three dimensional space.

All you need to bring is a pencil, a rubber and a photograph to copy.

Anything else you need will be provided.

In the second two hour workshop on the June 23, Mark will be looking at colour and teaching how to use it tonally.

You will need to bring acrylic or watercolour paints, a palette, a palette knife and brushes, kitchen towel, a water pot and an A3 board to paint. A table easel if you have one would be good.

Cost: £20 per workshop.

The Brownston Gallery specialises in contemporary fine art.

They represent a number of established and emerging artists whose styles range from abstract to figurative, psychedelic to portraiture, maritime to landscape.

The approach is that art should be informative, adventurous and fun.

The work is constantly changing and they also have a secret sculpture garden.
