Summer School – Experimental Landscape Painting

Exploring different materials and approaches to creating lively landscape responses.

What The Course is About:

Landscapes are the starting point for exploring different ways to paint. Weather permitting, we will go outside to do sketches and take photos for use back in the studio. We will try out wet into wet techniques, the use of masking fluid, acrylic medium for glazing, candle wax and adding materials like salt. This will lead to creating your own personal response/s.

Materials Required:

What to bring to the first session: Basic drawing materials, A4 sketchbook, Watercolours and a range of brushes. Acrylic paints, a white palette or large white plate. Heavy watercolour paper (Bockingford 300gsm is very good and a large sheet can be bought from the PSAD shop and can be cut in two). Alternatively bring a watercolour block.

Previous Experience:

All Levels

End of course:

What will I achieve? A wider knowledge of what is possible with painting landscapes and a confidence to experiment and to explore various approaches to pursue your own ideas.
