Oil Painting: Simplifying Colour in the Landscape

X

Description

This workshop is all about colour. Join Francis for a whole day of oil painting, where you will be guided through a process of perceptual simplification and visual enhancement. Landscape as a subject matter can often present the painter with an overwhelm of information which must then be organised into a coherent arrangement of light, colour and design. Using his painting practice as a reference, your tutor will aim to prepare you for your own, unique journey into colour. Demonstration, explanation of materials and discussion of painting examples will form the basis of instruction alongside a high level of individual instruction during this practical outdoor landscape painting session. With simplicity as a central theme of the workshop, small scale canvases will be used to aid the creation of our colour study paintings. A nearby location will be decided near the time, with a studio based contingency class prepared in case of rain. You are welcome to bring a lidded bottle of water with you but we kindly ask that you do not bring food into the studio. Our on-site café Blend is open until 4pm each day.

FAQs

We really hope you don’t need to, but any changes need to be made at least 30 days in advance. No refunds are given for any cancellation made within 30 days of a class commencing. An administration fee of 10% will be made on cancellations or alterations before this time. We cannot offer a refund if you are unwell for any reason and unable to attend.

All our studios are wheelchair accessible and members of our team will be able to assist you if you require. Near the shop on the ground floor we have a disabled toilet and a lift which will allow you access around the building.

If you find it difficult to stand during a class or have any other access needs, please let us know when booking so we can make appropriate arrangements.

Unfortunately, we do not have our own designated car park, however there are plenty around Cirencester. The nearest short stay car park is The Brewery Car Park which is approximately 2 minutes away and is a council run pay and display. This car park has several disabled parking spaces too. Sheep Street Car Park is a longer stay car park 3 minutes away, it is a cashless car park facilitated by Pay by Phone. Full details of all car parks and pricing can be found on Cotswold District Council Website.

We pride ourselves on smaller class sizes, so you get plenty of help from the tutors. Maximum 8-10 students per class.

Of course, and for some classes we may ask you to do this. Please don’t worry, if this is the case it will be clearly shown on the booking pages and in your confirmation emails.

No, we ask that students either bring their own or wear clothes they are happy to get messy in.

You are welcome to bring a lidded bottle of water with you but we kindly ask that you do not bring food or drinks into the studio.
