Further Detail
Your tutor teaches through practical demonstration and one to one support; studio tuition will evolve to technically organise oil paint media to create a successful landscape painting. The characteristics of the local topography and extending Oxfordshire landscape will be used to discover working approaches for ‘setting up’ to paint outdoors, and how to manage the changing visual elements of light, shadow and colour. A possible (local) site visit may be programmed.
The tutor instructs students in health and safety issues relevant to this course.
Skills/Techniques Covered
As well as the general description of the landscape picture plane and drawing, fundamental painting approaches, such as using supporting ‘ground tints’, wet in wet (al fresco) mark making, scumbling, impasto and glazing will be taught.
Level
Suitable for all levels including beginner
Materials
Materials are not included in your course fee. Most materials including oil colour and mediums will be provided by the tutor. The approximate cost of these will be £25.00 to £30.00, payable to the tutor during the course.
Your tutor may not have the facilities to take card payments for materials in the workshops. Please remember to bring cash or your cheque book if your course involves buying materials from the tutor.
Please Bring With You
If you have any oil paints/brushes/palette/ mediums along with additional tools/materials that you would like to bring with you then please do so. You may not need to use them however – the tutor has listed all your essential needs for this particular course above.
We advise that you do not buy any materials required for a course more than two weeks in advance, because occasionally a course is cancelled due to low enrolment.
