The Venue Painting Weekends
The 2025 programme of workshops concludes with the annual September Painting weekends at The Venue, Laurencekirk.
The Weekends begin with a day of practical work. The Presentation on the Sunday seek to explore elements of art history and theory. This September, the theme is British Art of the 50s & 60s with disucssion of the work of Frank Auerbach, Francis Bacon, Lucien Freud and Eduardo Paolozzi. Artists are then free to develop work. Tutor support is available throughout and numbers are kept to a maximum of 8 artists. This allows me to engage with each artist’s work on a highly individual basis.
The Venue provides the ideal environment in which artists may explore a variety of subjects. Courses are non-residential and are self-catered though refreshments aand home baking treats are available on both days. Information on the 2026 Spring and Autumn Weekends will be available early in the New Year. To find out more simply email me on mearnsartist@aol.com or click on the Contact me link below.
