Subject matter will be provided, please feel free to bring along any sketches or photos that you would like to try. There will be several demonstrations throughout the week to illustrate different methods of working. Individual tuition at all levels is given as and when required. You will find plenty of enthusiastic encouragement for painters, both accomplished and those with less experience.
On the first day, following an introductory talk, there will a demonstration and discussion on tone. Our first painting will be a tonal study painted from sketches provided or from your own sketchbooks. From this we will develop a painting using a limited pallet.
To allow for different levels of ability, students will work at their own pace.
Subjects we will cover are, painting from photographs, skies, trees, water and the dreaded ‘green’. There will be demonstrations to illustrate various points.
A still life and flower study will be set up in the studio.
