This 3 day workshop will explore ways of capturing and recording information directly in the landscape and developing this into larger paintings in the studio. Sketches and studies made on-site are often fast and loose and more spontaneous but these characteristics can be lost when transitioning to a ‘finished’ painting due to the challenges of scaling up in size.
With guided support you will be encouraged to explore ways of moving forward from initial studies in a way that aims to maintain a freedom and looseness in your work.
What to expect: Day 1 will be spent in the Dartmoor landscape sketching and using other methods of recording information such as watercolour studies, collaging and continuous line drawing. This will be followed by 2 full studio days developing the information into paintings, using either acrylics, oils or mixed media.
Experience: You do not need to be skilled at drawing or have any experience of sketching but some painting experience would be an advantage. Most importantly you will be willing to experiment and remain open-minded to possibilities.
When: Studio days: May 16th & 17th. Dartmoor days: May 7th OR 14th [dependent on weather]
Where: Studio days: The Art House, Totnes Rd, South Brent, Devon TQ10 9BP. The Dartmoor day will be located at Coombestone Tor [directions and all details will be sent on booking]
Materials: Materials for the Dartmoor days are provided. You will be required to provide materials for studio days - paints, preferred surfaces and any other chosen materials. I will have some mixed media items such as collage, charcoal and pastels available for use.
In a nutshell:
One day capturing and recording information in the landscape [11am-3pm]
Two full days tuition (10am-4.30pm)
Maximum 6 participants
Free-flowing refreshments
Friendly, relaxed and informal environment
Materials and work can be left in the studio overnight
Payment options are available at checkout which include Klarna and Clearpay.
Please ensure you read the Workshop T&C’s before booking.
