Still life (Flowers)
We are delighted that Nick Archer will be bringing one of his popular weekend workshops to the Chiswick Art School classroom at Dukes’ Meadows.
A flower arrangement will be set up in the studio to work from. The focus will be collecting reference material and then looking at how to translate this reference material onto a large piece of work focusing on creative mark-making.
