Saturday 29 August to Saturday 5 September 2009

Annelise Pio Hansen

Watercolours

Annelise is a warm and symapthetic Danish painter who has taught at Castle of Park and the watermill several times. She came to painting as a better way to understand the creative process; at the time she was a fiction editor and art director in book publishing and with a weekly magazine. She studied her watercolour technique in England but she has retained her Danish influence.

Her colours are soft but bright, just like the light reaching the sandy beaches and the soft hills not far from where she lives just outside Copenhagen.

Laraine Simpson

Watercolours, oils, acrylics and pastels

Laraine is a Fine Arts/Painting graduate of Central School of Art & Design (now Central St. Martins), London. She is highly regarded as a perceptive, patient and encouraging tutor working with beginners and advanced students alike, her main aim being to teach people to ‘see’ the relationships of line, tone, shape, colour etc which are fundamental to drawing and painting.

Laraine works in oils, pastels, watercolours, and a variety of drawing materials. Her main inspiration is the wonderful interplay of light on surfaces, particularly the human form (portraiture and figure work) and landscape, and also animals and architecture. Her methods range from a fast, loose and free gestural approach to a more evocative, tonal style.
