The Scottish Colourists
Friday 18 February
09.30-12.30
“The Scottish Colourists” is the collective term by which the four artists, S. J. Peploe (1871—1935), J. D. Fergusson (1874—1961), G. L. Hunter (1877—1931) and F. C. B. Cadell (1871—1935) are popularly known. By combining their Scottish artistic heritage with contemporary French art styles, in a new, distinctive, and highly individual way, the Scottish Colourists forged a new, colourful and vibrant description of the world around them. They are amongst the most admired of early twentieth-century British painters.
The cost is £22.00 for the study day. To make further enquiries and to book please telephone 01202 888992 and speak to Sarah or Kim.

Thomas Gainsborough

Thomas Gainsborough was a highly experimental and innovative artist, who didn’t adhere to academic rules, who is best known as one of the great portrait painters of his era. However, he also loved painting landscapes and set many of his portrait figures within gloriously scenic settings. Constable once said of Gainsborough’s paintings: “On looking at them, we find tears in our eyes and know not what brings them.”
