Artists! Expand your practice into large-scale murals. Learn from artist Madeleine Pires, creator of the Flower Street Murals in Kirkdale.
Saturday 16th March, 11am – 5pm (£120)
Programme
This one-day session is packed with valuable artistic knowledge and technical insights such as:
- Analysing your wall, measuring and planning
- Using photography and Photoshop to experiment with colours and produce visual references
- Breaking down your vision into realistic stages (form, negative space, colour, detail)
- Types of paint and varnish (with physical examples)
- Ways of scaling up your design (with visual examples and demonstration)
- Madeleine will also give useful advice and tips about leading a community project, including: how to put together a school workshop to transfer to the mural, ‘onsulting’ local people and involving them, working with children and letting them be involved but safe and building your team and delegating tasks to volunteers.
- Other practical points such as operating powered access machines: what to expect, building a security area around your working space and organising your equipment/paints/tools.
There will be time for participants to respond, ask questions and network.
Please note: this session is for experienced artists who already have good drawing and painting skills, and who do not have a problem with working at height.
