Workshop Details.
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.
AQThe 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.
OIARSULA possible local site visit may be programmed depending on the weather.
The tutor instructs students in health and safety issues relevant to this workshop.
Skills/Techniques Covered
