ART WORKSHOP
ONLINE COURSE
with a private facebook group free with book
here is some wonderful art by Art Garden founding member Dey Alexander
EASY STEP BY STEP This course is an easy step by step project which was created to explore colour on colour in an enjoyable, meditative and relaxing way
Then it includes a 'wabi sabi' framing method that removes the picture framer and shows you how to recycle old frames
The concepts in this course are simple and easy
but the colour knowledge that you learn by DOING,
as opposed to reading colour theory,
is MASSIVE
We also explore the concept of chopping up your old art
This is pure hand made artisanal paint with a heavy pigment load.
The paintcard contains a variety of colours with more than enough to paint all the exercises in the book and many more works of art
and it is especially made to match together to create pleasing harmonious colour stories
This special offer comes with a super sized A4 dot card
mixed with a theme of one of the four seasons
The paintcard you recieve will be chosen randomly , and its big, - so not the set shown on screen

Other Workshops
Before I went completely abstract - I first became absorbed in mark making
It helped me to loosen up and realise how pleasurable art was without the boundaries of expectation
Every mark is a surprise - and there is no pressure because it can even become a background that you paint over - it is a wonderful feeling
As a controlled artist for over 30 years I felt a rush of the wonder I had experienced as a young artist just learning everything, it was so exciting
Since then I have been breaking more and more boundaries and have immersed myself into abstract art - I LOVE IT - and you can do it too
