Trevor Waugh

Spend a Morning or two Painting with Trevor Waugh

Born in London in 1952 Trevor studied at the Slade School of Fine Art from 1970 to 1974, amongst his tutors were Sir William Coldstream and David Hockney. He graduated with a BA in Fine Arts and then went on to study illustration under Ernest Jones at Croydon College of Art gaining a distinction.

Alison and Trevor first met in 1995 when he was tutoring an art group in Cornwall. He had just returned from a very exciting trip to the USA and had travel in his bones. He took to the Middle East straightaway and was out painting on his first morning in Dubai. Many visits have ensued since all producing an abundance of sketches watercolours and oils and more recently books.

Trevor has a strong following both here and in the UK, his peregrinations around the world have included Morocco, Turkey, Venice, Egypt, Florence, Oman and India. He always finds time to pass his knowledge and skill on to others and has produced a number of books and videos on the art of sketching drawing and painting. Never far from his guitar or his sketch books, Trevor is a man who relishes in all things visual and stimulating.

Astrid Harrisson – Photography Workshops

396222_10150512993703004_1270282932_n

On location with Astrid – March 2012

 

Astrid Harrisson gives you the opportunity to learn about  your camera and subjects in unique surroundings.

 

“A whinny on the breeze, thundering hooves and kicked up dust on a setting sun are truly emotive and sensual moments in nature; moments of magic within which nature communicates on a multi-layered level; moments that are born at the crossroads of inspiration, vision and awareness. Photography is a tool enabling us to encapsulate such moments so that we might share them with others.

We offer you a rare opportunity to go on a journey to this mythical address: join Horse Photographer Astrid Harrisson and Equus Coach Kelly Eide on a day photographing horses in nature. Not only will you develop a deeper understanding of the subtleties of animal communication and develop a better relationship with your camera and photographic equipment, but you will also learn to understand the importance of heightened awareness of the moment – a powerful tool that can help you capture a perfectly magical image before it even happens.

Following this spend a studio-based ‘post-production’ day at Dubai’s Majlis Gallery, allowing necessary time to explore your captured material by processing and transforming your most magical of moments into finished photographs”

Astrid Harrisson

 

It is advised that when booking these workshops that you choose  at least one location shoot and at least one post production day ( Total 800 AED).  In doing this you will benefit from spending a day learning how to get the best shots in a fabulous location, and allow the necessary time to explore your capture material by processing and transforming your images into finished pieces. It is the complete package for the budding photographer.
