In this course, we will explore creating mixed media land and seascapes using Oil Pastel, Gouache and mixed media. With a focus on mark making and spontaneity, this is an in depth exploration into loosening up and finding freedom in combining media. Great for sketchbook work and development but equally useful for creating larger works.
This course will explore the work, colour palette and techniques of John Constable and how we can translate these into a contemporary painting practice, with modern materials and methods.

This course will explore the work, color palette and techniques of JMW Turner and how we can translate these into a contemporary painting practice, with modern materials and methods.

With a focus on land and seascape painting, the workshop is great for both beginners and those with a little more practice. In it, there will be plenty of demonstrations in which we will focus on colour mixing, application and how to use gouache to create atmosphere and energy.
