About this Event
We're back with another fun and creative day of painting at the United Arts Club. This workshop will focus on how to successfully paint an atmospheric lake scene with water reflections.
Water reflections can seem a challenging subject to paint, but Kasper will demonstrate his method for achieving a convincing painting through natural brush handling and a simplified colour palette.
The workshop will be based on a three-part demonstration where Kasper will show his technique, and after each part, he will assist the students along the way.
We will start the day with a value study exercise of the chosen image, and explanations will be given on how this can be used as a roadmap for a successful painting.
The following will be covered.
• Working with a combination of soft and hard-edge brush strokes to achieve a sense of movement in the water
• The value of connecting shapes in the painting.
• The importance of having a focal point in the painting.
• Techniques to adjusting the final painting by lifting paint in certain areas
All of this and more will be delivered through demonstrations and personalised attention.
Art materials will be provided; however, students are also welcome to bring along their own if they wish.
This workshop is not suited for absolute beginners.
