5 day painting workshop
Enjoy five days of structured painting tuition at
the Norfolk Painting School
Based around the painting of sea, skies and various weather
conditions this five day course is a mixture of studio and plein air
painting, aimed at improving your depiction of weather and
landscape in oils. Starting from first principles Martin Kinnear takes
you through the process of recording weather on and off location
(using methods similar to Constable's 'skying' phase), and then
shows you how to develop fuller studio oils from these quick studies
in the style of the Dutch and Italianate masters. During the course
we will cover:
- Foundation oil painting skills
- Traditional oil mediums for plein air and studio work
- Plein air weather painting
- Studio painting
The course is mostly studio based, with the on location session
aimed at simply allowing you to experience the practice of applying
skills in the field, for this reason the entire course can be studio
based if the weather is unsuitable.
lunches and refreshments.
This five day course is suitable for painters of all abilities, as the
small class sizes and longer duration allow it to reflect your current
ability. It is not essential that you have attended any of our courses
to take part, and this course counts as a foundation course for the
purpose of subsequently booking intermediate courses.
For 2011 dates the course will include a mid week afternoon
workshop on life painting and drawing from the undraped figure,
hosted by one of the School's specialist tutors.
To make the courses as useful as possible, we insist on a maximum
of just eight students, with a studio assistant also on hand in most
courses we can ensure as much ‘at your easel’ tuition as possible.
| extremely good for getting students to practice new skills while they are with us; this years focus on sea and sky is our most commonly requested course, and will make a huge difference to your painting of these themes. |
