Additional date will be scheduled.
This fun 1-day workshop is a beginners guide to painting for people keen to paint but not sure where to start. Using Acrylics as our medium I will guide you through the basics of what makes for a successful painting using a variety of tools and approaches. Acrylic paint is a forgiving and user-friendly medium that provides a solid foundation for painting in other media.
Using the landscape as a reference, I will demonstrate a range of painting methods, including underpainting, impasto and the use of textural effects to create depth and atmosphere. I will also cover basics such as brush handling, palette knife techniques, composition, colour-mixing, tone and perspective.
Experience: The workshop is aimed at beginners and early stage painters, although may suit more seasoned painters who are new to Acrylics or want to loosen up.
What will be covered:
Using different tools, surfaces and equipment
Understanding composition and perspective
Colour-mixing to create atmosphere
Using tone [light & shade] to create impact
Creating texture and depth
Where: The Art House, Totnes Rd, South Brent, Devon TQ10 9BP. Free on-site parking [space permitting].
In an Nutshell:
One full day of tuition (10am-4.30pm)
Maximum 6 participants
Free-flowing refreshments
Friendly, relaxed and informal environment
Price includes materials & equipment **
** Materials include use of student grade paints and acrylic paper - if you wish to use an alternative surface such as canvas or your own paints please bring these with you.
Payment options are available at checkout which include Klarna and Clearpay.
Please ensure you read the Workshop T&C’s before booking
