One day Workshops
Friday & Saturday 26th & 27th
June 2020
One Big Bird or Animal
Demo in oils but acrylic painters very welcome. All abilities
A 2 day course where we focus on building up one painting over this time.
With two days we will also working a little larger than we would on one day painting.
Whilst still using the alla prima approach we will be taking more time at each stage and delving a little deeper into a variety of extra techniques and processes.
​
I'll be demonstrating the progress of a painting over the 2 day in oils, but this process is just as useful for acrylics. With plenty of one on one time and tuition the medium doesn't matter too much.
​
Along with all the usual painting principles we will look at:
-
Warmup excercises focusing on how to look at, construct interpret birds & animals
-
Planning a painting
-
Setting up a painting
-
Mediums, additives and materials
-
Getting the first stage of composition and drawing solid
-
How to lay solid foundations to build one
-
Paint consistency at different stages
-
What to do when we get stuck in a painting and how to move forward
-
Check list of how to analyse a painting as we're going
-
A few little extra techniques and tricks we wouldn't normal get to cover in a single day
-
How to setup a painting up for the finishing stage
-
How to really bring a painting to a good refined finish without sacrificing the expressiveness and layers of the early painting
​​
All this and whatever else comes up. This is going to be a really fun one/
