I spend a couple of happy hours at Elysium in Swansea today, in an art class for Welsh learners. I speak and read Welsh a bit (yn tipyn bach) but struggle to go beyond conversational Welsh and into specialist topics. This session today looked at one of the current exhibitions, by Arwel Micah, very atmospheric semi-abstract landscapes in oils. We did some sketching from some of the artworks and then did a little acrylic painting inspired by the originals, bilingually. I loved it!
The next one is on September 30th if you fancy it and there will be two more after that before the end of the year, linked to an exhibition in one of the 3 galleries. And they’re FREE / AM DDIM!
