Loosen up your landscapes with award-winning Carlisle artist Martin Evans.
In this comprehensive session, Martin will take you from idea to completed (is an artwork ever truly complete?) painting.
The day will look something like this:
11am-1pm
In the first part of the session you will generate ideas and work through some painting exercises focused on expressive painting techniques, colour and composition. Weather permitting, you may also head out into the garden to take inspiration from the autumnal colours.
1-2pm
Break for lunch and opportunity to visit the Colour exhibition.
2-4pm
The serious work/fun begins. In the final stretch, you will decide on a final composition and complete a canvas work which you can then keep (and continue working on at home if you so desire).
Martin will be on hand throughout the session to offer advice and guidance. All materials provided including paper, canvas, acrylics, pencils and charcoal. Please feel free to bring your own if there’s anything else you might want to use.
Tickets are £75 (£67.50 for Tullie Friends)
About Martin Evans:
Martin Evans lives and works in Carlisle, Cumbria and studied Graphic Design at Cumbria Institute of the Arts where he developed his eye for colour and composition. A self-taught painter and mural artist, it is the pure joy of painting and expression that drives his process. Cumbria has some of the most spectacular landscapes in the UK, and he is constantly inspired by this subject matter. Martin’s work has been exhibited in Cumbria with Proseed, StArt, CCA and EVAN, while he has also worked with major charities and organisations such as Tullie Museum & Art Gallery, Prism Arts & Blank Wall Assassins. More widely he has won the Society of Scottish Artists Prize at the ‘Big Art Show’ 2024, been selected for the prestigious 2020 and 2023 Discerning Eye Exhibitions at the Mall Galleries London, long listed for the 2022 and 2023 Jacksons Painting Prize and exhibited at the 2024 Venice Biennale with the Proseed collective.
