Artwork of the Month (Talk) - Flowers (1942) by Ivon Hitchens

Hitchens is best known for his landscapes but he also painted a large number of still life paintings of flowers. A true lover of nature, he commented "I love flowers, I love flowers for painting" which is evident in the colours, shapes and brushstrokes of July's Artwork of the Month. Learn more about Hitchens' individual approach to flower painting and then in the workshop, from a display of summer flowers and an arrangement of vases, create a loose, expressive painting that reflects the warmth of July, Hitchens' use of colour and fluid forms. With Gallery Guide Jillie Moss and Artist Educator Claire Westwood. you can also join the free Artwork of the Month workshop at 1pm in the afternoon of each talk.
