Farley's House & Gallery

https://www.farleyshouseandgallery.co.uk/farleys-house/

Farleys House & Gallery (historically known as Farley Farm House) is a museum, archive, and gallery in Chiddingly, East Sussex, that served as the home of the famous Surrealist movement in the United Kingdom. [1, 2]

Purchased in 1949 by the photographer Lee Miller and her husband, the Surrealist artist and collector Sir Roland Penrose, the Georgian farmhouse became a vibrant creative hub for 35 years. Today, it is managed by the Penrose family as a museum dedicated to preserving their extraordinary legacy and extensive 20th-century art collections.

Josie Tipler 20th July

Hello Sue

Southern Appalachian mountains (Blue Ridge parkway, Eastern USA) in Acrylics.

Bring A3 or larger board/canvas, primed (white gesso) ready and if possible paint a warm bright pink or orange background so it’s dry ready to work on. Acrylic paints including white, warm and cool blues and yellows, a brown and/or Paynes grey, ideally a purple and orange or red, emerald or similar green. Use a wide/medium and thin flat brush, a medium and fine round and a rigger or other fine brush, but bring what you have. We’ll work straight onto the board/canvas, no sketching, using paints ’tube consistency’ with just a tiny bit of water added. I’ll provide some black and white photographic reference but feel free to bring your own colour reference.

I have three mountain images on the website, the example canvas I will bring is the Blue Ridge Outlook (the first image here) and I’ll bring 30 black and white print-outs of photographic reference.

Kind regards

Josie
