Overview of the day
At 10:30am we will start with welcomes, introductions and an overview of the day.
We will look at the way in which a variety of painters approach landscapes in their artwork, identifying how scale, composition, perspective and tone have been harnessed to create depth, before going on to under paint our canvases in preparation.
Whilst your under paint is drying, we will work through a series of quick practical exercises designed to put what you have learned into practice.
11:30am (ish) - Break for a hot drink.
Once refuelled we will draw/trace our images on to our under painted canvases and get painting. I will be there to guide, support and encourage you throughout the day.
1:00pm - Lunch break. There is a cafe on site, and The Drum pub is within a short walk from the studio, or feel free to bring a packed lunch.
After lunch you will spend a relaxing afternoon finishing your painting. Hot drinks will be available as and when required.
4:15pm - We will cover how to clean brushes/work stations, before a photo opportunity to show off your newly created masterpieces.
4:30pm - Head home with a completed painting ready to show off to your friends and family, and hang in pride of place.

Sun, 18 August, 13:30 – 16:30

Pointillism is defined by its use of mark making and colour. Pointillism paintings are created from hundreds of dots of carefully placed pure colours, relying on the eye to mix the colours to achieve maximum luminosity, in a similar way to pixels on a screen.
Learn how to use reds, blues and yellows to create the whole spectrum of colours. In this workshop we will look at basic colour theory, pigment strength and colour mixing before going on to create a colourful acrylic painting to take away with you.
