4 day course in Acrylic Image Transfer with Painting- 7-11 December 2014 at West Dean College

I’m really excited to be teaching this longer and more intensive version of the course that I taught in April. This is my favourite technique- I use it in most of my paintings. I’ve always been interested in combining my photography and painting. Acrylic transfer has been around about as long as acrylic paints, but it started to really make sense when combined with Photoshop, acrylic colours, and laser jet printing- giving me the freedom to work in any scale. I’ve been perfecting my methods over the last four years and now I want to teach you what I’ve discovered!

The course takes place at the absolutely gorgeous West Dean College near Chichester in West Sussex. For more information, click here!

Workshops at the West Dean Design and Craft Festival

I’ll be teaching three short one and a half hour workshops on Saturday, 21 June 2014, as part of the West Dean Design and Craft Festival featuring MADE.

The workshops are a brief introduction to Acrylic Image Transfer, which is the technique that I use in most of my paintings; it’s a great way to combine the best of photography and painting.

If you’ve ever wanted to paint on your photographs- combining images in new ways, and altering colours at whim- this is the technique for you. It’s like a low-tech, physical Photoshop, with the added bonus of textures and varied finishes.

7-11 December 2014 I will be teaching a longer course at West Dean. Watch this space!
