During this two day studio-based course Dave will introduce participants to the essential building blocks of representing the landscape in oil paint. These crucial aspects of theory will enhance your existing painting practice and allow you to move beyond simply painting ‘what you see’, to be more adventurous, creative and create more dynamic paintings. Each day will be a combination of classroom based tuition and some painting time to practice the concepts learned.
This course is suitable for all levels of ability but you should have a decent grasp of painting in oils before commencing.
Topics covered will include:
- Selecting a scene, editing and composition
- Value map and plane changes
- Theory behind skies and sunsets
- Mixing greens and painting trees
