Description
In this workshop we are going to work from an image of a canal boat moored along a towpath, surrounded by lush green trees. We will first do an underpainting then sketch out our composition on the canvas, before applying the paint in a loose & dynamic way in the style of ‘The Impressionists’. Focusing on colour mixing & brushwork, we will be aiming to capture the subjective, fleeting impression of the scene rather than a precise, detailed representation. What to bring: - A canvas or board min A4, max A3, rectangular or square. - A selection flat, round and filbert brushes. - A selection of artist quality paints oils or acrylics - ideally including French ultramarine, cerulean, yellow ochre, cadmium yellow, lemon yellow, burnt sienna. - Palette knife – e.g. Winsor and Newton size 22. - Paper palette and a box to take your work home in. - Oils only: A jar and some low odour thinners/white spirit substitute for cleaning your brushes, some rags or plenty of tissues to wipe brushes clean. Optional extra items: - ‘Liquin’ painting medium if working in oils. - A ‘stay-wet’ palette if working in acrylic.
