Michael Hill Workshop
Our recent Michael Hill workshop proved extremely popular and a departure from our usual landscape workshops.
Michael demonstrated a more ‘naive’ style of painting which is more uninhibited, with an instictive approach to materials, composition, and ideas, ignoring the rules of perspective. Michael made it look easy, but most found is quite challenging, however it was fun and enjoyed by all those who attended. Trying new things are what workshops are all about. Scroll down page to see a few images of the work produced at the workshop.
Here are just a few comments left by our members….
“Inspirational, will go home and experiment!”
“Wonderful experience with Michael Hill. It was such fun and very inspirational!”
“A really enjoyable workshop – my first with the Yealm Art Society, and not my last”
A little bit about our Society and our members…….
