The intensive plein air course will explore the landscape of the local area and how we can create quick and effective paintings.
Each day will begin with a short short studio-based tuition session where Dave will cover specific aspects of landscape painting such as choices of colour palette, mark-making using creative but relevant techniques, and both aerial and linear perspective.
The rest of the day will be spent painting outdoors at varied locations in the Dunmore East area. During the outdoor sessions participants have the choice of following a structured painting with Dave or working on their own ideas and composition with occasional one-to-one guidance. The day’s painting will close with another short studio-based session.
* The course takes place in Artform modern light-filled seaside studio with 24hr access for each visiting artist, and runs from 11am to 5pm on the first day and from 10am to 4pm on the subsequent days. Cost does not include accommodation, on request Artform offers artist accommodation options. Details on art materials and safety will be provided after signing up to the course.
