About

Creating Reflections ~ Water in the Landscape with Frances Winder

Join this gently encouraging tutor, Frances, for the day and learn some of the techniques she employs in capturing water on paper.

'My work is based upon the abstracts around me ~ rivers, fells and coast. I use a free and partly abstracted approach, sometime more abstract, sometimes more representational. Colour mood and atmosphere inspire me to play with texture and paint surfaces. I have recently exhibited 'Waterways' a theme exploring coasts and rivers'.

As an artist, the fleeting qualities of light and colour excite me. I am trying to grasp the internal qualities, the essential mood and spirit of place. Sometimes I use a straightforward, representational approach, but increasingly I am exploring the abstract. I love to experiment with texture and colour and follow themes and ideas of work, large and small."
