If you've ever been inspired by Eric Ravilious' paintings, or by the moody misty hills of the Sussex Downs, this is a workshop for you. Hosted in a cosy converted barn in Cuckmere Haven (one of the locations of Ravilious's paintings), spend a day with likeminded people, learning the basics of watercolour & landscape painting inspired by Ravilious's style of painting.What we'll be doing:
We’ll be going over basic watercolour skills such as paint consistency, brush strokes, colour mixing, layering and more. We'll learn specific skills that Ravilious uses in his paintings to create depth & mood. We will be working from books & reference images, as well as learning how to create our own compositions.
Low pressure:
This class is a mixture of learning something new and more in depth as well as just having a lovely day. It’s a very low pressure and friendly class - while learning techniques - the most important thing is to just experiment and see what happens, and enjoy doing something arty surrounded by nature!
What you'll come away with:
There are 8 space in this class, meaning there's always enugh time for me to give individual advice. Everyone has a different style & way of working and the aim is not to be able to create an exact copy of his paintings. By the end of the class I aim to have taught you many different techniques, that you can take or leave based on your personal preference, and use them in your own unique way.
Who it's for:
Beginners and anyone keen on learning to paint in watercolour! Many people who come to my classes haven't painted since school - if you are one of those people you're very welcome.
If you have previous drawing experience it will help you to focus a little more on the watercolour technique, where as if you are totally new, just be prepared it may take a little longer to combine all of the techiques we are learning together! As long as you come with an open mind, and try not to pressure yourself to create a masterpiece but focus on experimenting and learning, thats the main thing :-)
