Ghost Ranch Colour from Earth with Nicki Heenan – G26090306
Come experience a water based mixed media workshop using pigments. Ghost ranch offers a beautiful landscape from which to build your own colour collection. The aim of this workshop is to explore different ways of extracting pigment and making paint. This workshop is about digging deeper into the foundation of your knowledge of materials and how to manipulate them in context of your own artistic practice. Studies in abstraction and observation combine to put processes into practice. At the end of the workshop you will be able to take home with you your own set of watercolour paints, pastels and pigments.
