Her last solo show was in Seville in 2018. She is a painter, papermaker and printmaker. Please see more of Annabels work at www.annabelkeatley.com.

Printmaking – collagraphy
Experimental printmaking workshop. Collagraphy is a non-toxic environmentally safe form of printmaking with more immediate results than etching. We make a collage or draw and carve a design on a surface, glue and ink it up and print it, running it through the etching press. Beautiful results in just one morning, rich colours and unexpected professional looking one off prints.. Also in this class it is possible to make prints on your own handmade papers. Surprisingly fun, exciting and addictive process!

Watercolour
This is a very popular workshop where we will learn many different techniques and methods of how to use watercolour for both abstract images and landscapes. Learn helpful tips and gain practical knowledge from Annabels many years of experience as a “plein air” watercolour painter.

Mixed Media Painting with Hot Beeswax
Experimenting with colour and texture! Using pure pigments, sand, earth and hot melted beeswax to create richly textured paintings. The technique you will learn is a combination of the ancient art of encaustic painting and traditional oil painting. This is a way of working which everyone can enjoy because it is so versatile and forgiving. There are no mistakes, experimenting and having fun is the most important thing about this workshop!
