Dear Subscribers,
I hope you have had a good week and here is part 6 of alla prima of Dark Red Roses!
I also want to let you know about a in person workshop in the UK in October: Masterclass – Alla Prima Floral Portrait in Oil, with Old Bank Studios. 19 - 20th October 2024.
This two-day workshop offers a hands-on experience in alla prima oil painting, focusing on floral subjects. Through a systematic approach, you will learn how to translate your observations into authentic paintings that capture form and light nuances. Working directly from life, you’ll gain practical tools to enhance your skills.
Some prior experience with oil paint is essential to get the most from this workshop.
Workshop Outline
Each day, I will commence with a presentation on my painting philosophy, followed by hands-on demonstrations. Students will then apply these techniques under my guidance, receiving personalised feedback based on their skill level. Practical subjects covered include honing observation skills, simplification, composition, drawing, various modes of seeing, value relationships, form and light, colour aspects, edges, and abstraction.
Includes homemade lunch and refreshments both days.
If you want to find out more please contact the host directly at: www.oldbankstudios.co.uk
