Landscape and mark making
In this engaging course we will take a step by step look at approaches to painting landscapes.
Landscape painting is a celebration of creativity, an exploration of visual space with colour and texture
I will give instructions on preparing surfaces to work on. How to mix colour on the palette for a successful outcome. Application and mark making. I suggest the use of innovative and fun methods of applying paint. How various tools and brushes can be used in an inventive way to depict the elements of nature. I aim to encourage the development of skills and growth of confidence in individual ability to achieve a breadth of dialogue.
