MORISOT X MUNCH: PORTRAIT PAINTING & COLOUR MIXING MASTERCLASS WITH NIKKI GARDHAM – SATURDAY 1 MARCH 2025

We will be inspired by the dynamic, painterly languages of Berthe Morisot and Edvard Munch and its all about lush painterly gesture and colour!

Artist and London Drawing tutor Nikki Gardham is a master of colour and colour theory – and has so much to offer with regard to handling of paint and use of colour.

Learn how to look for colour, tune into how colours bounce off each other and affect each other. Consider deep colour use, how to knit stronger colour with muted tones and how the masters of colour across history have developed their palettes and applied paint. We will be inspired by Berthe Morisot and Frank Auerbach and look at how both artists used colour, layering and gesture in their work to produce intense light and glowing shadow, in flowing exuberant paintings.

This workshop is all about finding a more expressive vocabulary and your personal style and is packed full of practical tips to create strong, confident paintings- with loads of tuition and demonstrations to show you how to get started. This will really help with making more confident brushstrokes, using line, tone and colour, learning to work from thin to thick, using solvent in expressive ways to create washes, using medium to create lush & generous paintings.

A great day of creativity – perfect for beginners and ideal for those wanting to brush up on skills and learn more.
