| Artist Sara Bor on 'Freedom in Porthleven' 2013 |
A wonderful opportunity to
work in a small group with colourist and landscape artist Ashley Hanson in the
‘Lifeboat Art Studio’ in Porthleven, ideally situated on the edge of the harbour wall
directly facing the sea. It is designed for painters who wish to enhance their
creativity and look towards abstraction and beyond the representational. During
the course Ashley will inspire and encourage artists to produce their own
personal interpretation of Porthleven.
This 5 Day course is £320 - only 2 places left.
The course will start with an introduction on the Sunday
afternoon, followed by four intense working days in the studio and around the
harbour. The fifth day, (Friday) will be dedicated to transforming the studio into
an exhibition space open to the public from 12 - 7.30pm, where the work will be available for sale.

| 'Porthleven 6' |
Ashley has a very special connection with Porthleven: the paintings of Peter Lanyon (in particular 'Porthleven' made in 1951) had a major influence on his work and this unspoilt fishing town, with its double harbour and iconic clock tower was the inspiration for Ashley's first series of paintings about Cornwall.
There are now 18 paintings in the series and 'Porthleven 6' has been selected for the 'Brilliant Colour Exhibition' at Falmouth Art Gallery, 20 Sep - 22 Nov 2014 . This exhibition celebrates work from some of Cornwall's finest abstract artists including Sir Terry Frost, Grace Gardner and Patrick Heron.
