“Following in the footsteps of John Constable we take in the green expanse of Hampstead Heath as our subject and capture the effects of the soft morning light. We will use examples by Monet, Corot, Constable and Turner as we explore the genre of Landscape painting and in particular that of the en plein air oil sketch.” David Caldwell
THE COURSE OUTLINE
During the course we will look at the practicalities of working outdoors, such as how to organize materials and palette discipline. The course will also cover: Composition, Limited Palettes for landscape, How to simplify and be selective in the landscape, and working at speed in the changing light and weather.
You will be encouraged to be bold and experimental with materials/colour in their attempts to capture the unique character of the morning light. You will be provided with individual tutoring on the spot, and there will be a group “crit” at the end of each session, enabling each participant to develop his or her individual painting insight.
Choose the medium of your choice. We will provide you with an easel, stool and boards, and you can buy a materials pack with everything you need in the medium of your choice directly from us or if you prefer can come along with your own materials.
This class is suitable for all levels.
