This 8 week intensive online practical course is limited to 10 participants running weekly on Wednesday evening. The course will explore the making landscape paintings and will involve looking at the way landscape, which is probably the oldest genre in painting, has been used from cave painting right through to abstract painting.
Participating artists will begin by developing drawings and sketches of a landscape, either en plein air or from photographs, exploring ideas about landscape, such as a sense of place, topography, the psychological landscape and more empirical issues such as optical and colour values, arriving at the point, where an idea or view of a landscape is realised in a painting(s).
Drawing on the history of landscape painting and a knowledge of painting, Peter Ashton Jones will show ways to deconstruct a landscape and to look at what that landscape is and how it can be used to make a painting, whether it is of a place or of something other than just that place. The aim will be to develop your work in new, exciting and experimental ways, learning devices and techniques that can then be taken back to the studio and developed to push your work in a newly imaginative direction. The evening will include a group discussion
The course will be conducted on ZOOM, which has proved to be highly successful with artist-tutors at the Essential School of Painting, because it enables access to reference material online. ZOOM also allows participants to share their work very easily and a part of the evening will be spent discussing and exploring each other’s work
