Painting Class: Layering & Building Texture with Mixed Media

In this workshop, you will be introduced to the creative possibilities of layering different materials to create texture. We will guide you through the process of creating a unique abstract piece, exploring the artistic freedom of expression and learning to let go of control. You will experiment with various mediums and techniques that will inspire and challenge you to explore your own creative expression.

About Emma Peers:
A Scottish-born artist, Emma emigrated to New Zealand in 2006 after studying at the Glasgow School of Art. Her art is largely focused on portraiture and figurative painting, but she also draws inspiration from the landscapes of Central Otago, incorporating their textures and colours into her work. Emma's paintings explore emotion, with recent works focusing on mark-making and manipulating form to evoke a strong sense of feminine expression.
