No prior experience is required – just a willingness to embrace your artistic spirit!

 
So are you ready to release your inner artist and be a creative?
 
Painting is not just about creating art; it’s a therapeutic journey that allows you to unwind, destress, and tap into the soothing rhythm of colours and forms. Connect with fellow beginners who share a similar passion.
 

Step-by-step guidance is crafted for those who have never held a brush.
You will discover the joy of expressing yourself through each stroke.
Throughout the day you will learn the basics of colour mixing, brush techniques, and composition in a supportive environment.
We will be using acrylic paints as these are one of the most versatile, especially for beginners.
 
This course will run over three weeks.
The Dates are WEDNESDAY 19th, 26th March and 2nd April and will be in the afternoon from 1 pm – 3 pm.
 
  • Week 1: We will learn about colour theory, the colour wheel, mixing and blending colours. We will also look at which brushes to use.
  • Week 2: Once mastered the colour mixing we can move on to looking at skies, clouds and sunsets. How we apply the paint and which brushes to use. We will finish with painting a sky in an impressionist style.
  • Week 3: In this session we will look at the study of trees, again looking at how we apply paint and which brushes to use and introduce palette knives.
It is advisable to wear old clothes, but there are disposable aprons for your use. All materials are provided and you will go home with your finished painting at the end of the day on week 2 and week 3.

Artist Mike Lord

this event is now finished. thank you to all that came and support mike and the studios

Mike Lord started painting in his fifties, about six years ago, when he attended an oil painting pleasure class at Cedar Farm in Mawdsley run by contemporary artist Chris Mcloughlin.
 
The COVID -19 lock-down in 2020 meant he was unable to work, so to fill his time he painted, developing his skills and style, often painting five or six pictures a month.
 
Subsequently he had his first solo exhibition at Cedar Farm in 2022 and since then has had several further solo exhibitions at Cedar Farm and in Chorley as well as having work displayed in the Clitheroe Contemporary Art Exhibition, Blackburn Art Gallery and a restaurant in Chorley and displaying at the Art in the Pen art Fair in Skipton.
 
Mike says there are two main inspirations which drive his work. One is to paint what is around him in the beautiful Lancashire countryside where he lives and the other is about imagination and narrative in the tradition of magical realism, but again, often inspired by the local countryside.
 
His work is predominantly landscape painting with figures generally included only where they serve the narrative intention of the work.
 
He says he has been influenced by the work of Van Gogh (who isn’t?) Gustav Klimt, Stanley Spencer and David Hockney, though he strives to paint in his own authentic style, rather than imitate the greats. When asked about his art Mike comments as follows: “I had been waiting all my life to find a way to express myself creatively. Painting has finally given me that voice and I love it.”
 
PREVIEW IS FRIDAY 22ND NOVEMBER FROM 6.30 – 9 PM. Then this exhibition continues over the weekend SAT 23RD & SUN 24TH from 12 – 4 pm.
