Immerse yourself in the vibrant, multi-layered visual language of Michael Armitage in this one-day painting workshop at the Brockley Rise Centre. Through group discussion, practical demonstrations, and tailored one?to?one support, youll explore Armitages approach to storytelling through paint, drawing inspiration from various cultural references, dreamlike imagery, and expressive, gestural mark?making.During the session, youll experiment with rich colour palettes, fluid brushwork, and atmospheric layering to create paintings that blend observation, memory, and imagination. Youll be encouraged to consider symbolism, narrative, and personal experience within your compositions, echoing Armitages distinctive balance of the surreal and the real. If you have photographic references or sketches youd like to work from, please bring them with you.Learners wishing to pursue their own ongoing projects are equally welcome; your tutor will adapt guidance to suit your individual interests, creative goals, and level of experience. All materials are provided. Please wear clothing suitable for painting.
