Caroline Chappell
Contemporary Fine Artist
A 2 day Abstract Painting and Collage Workshop - November 22/23rd 2024
With artist and tutor Caroline Chappell
At Adderbury Institute, The Green, Adderbury, Banbury OX17 3NE
This 2 day workshop will focus on ‘Still Life’ through the lens of 20th and 21st century artists. These artists use colour composition texture and surface to create exciting paintings. No conventional ‘drawing’ of objects will be necessary, we will begin by ‘drawing’ freehand with scissors to create paper shapes. These paper cutouts will begin the journey to abstraction.
You will need to bring a table cover, your painting equipment, some scissors and glue.
You may like to bring a canvas but I will supply all papers.
There is good parking around the Institute, and a nice café and two pubs close by.(You might choose to bring your lunch ..)
Please arrive around 10.30 for an 11.00am start (There will be coffee/tea and biscuits/cake all day )
We will break for about an hour at lunchtime and finish at 3.30pm.
The price for the two days is £180 If you would like to book a place, please contact me ASAP carolinetchappell@gmail.com/ 07902813527. I will ask for payment much nearer the date.

Regular Four week art classes
Next classes commence Tuesday 22 October
in Bodicote Church Hall, Church House, Church Street, Bodicote OX15 4DW
This art course will focus on Abstract and Semi-Abstract painting and drawing through the lens of 20th and 21st century artists and art movements, as well as taking inspiration from music, poetry and our senses.
Techniques will be demonstrated and taught, and skill with paints, mediums and tools will be explored and practised. No experience is necessary, just enthusiasm and a willingness to experiment!
The course consists of 4 weekly classes on Tuesdays, 11.00am-1.30pm, then a break for a week, then another group of 4 and so on. Commencing September 10th.
The first session in each group of four will be a mini workshop, where an idea or a theme will be taught. The other three sessions could be used to develop this idea or work on your own.
Ideally, you should bring acrylic paint to these sessions. I can give advice and help if you need to buy some.
It costs £25 per class, payable in advance for 4. However, if you are new I suggest paying for Session 1 first.
Please contact me, Caroline, on 07902813527/carolinetchappell@gmail.com if you are interested
These little 20x20cm collages have been made as part of the development of unique abstract paintings.
