This workshop will show how using acrylics can create striking representations of sunlit streams and rivers. We will use big brushes to capture the expressive nature of the theme and vibrant colour to enhance contrasting effects. The session will include short demos and plenty of one to ones.
Includes lunch, refreshments and cream tea
About the Artist
Working as an illustrator for over 15 years, Hashim gained valuable experience in developing a backbone of drawing, conceptual ideas and painting techniques. His client list varies from The Times, Daily Express, Daily Mail, Time magazine, an ad campaign for Smirnoff and a stamp for The Royal Mail. Throughout his career Hashim has won many awards; most recently the 2009 SAA (Society of All Artists) Artist of the Year, his first book ‘Vibrant Acrylics’ was released in 2012 with a new book on ‘Cityscapes’ due out in 2016. Over the last few years Hashim has been keen to explore his own ideas and create paintings with a greater sense of energy and immediacy. Using contrasting flecks of colour, heavy textural paint and expressive brush strokes combine to bring greater depth and mood to each of his paintings.
