On the first day we will begin with some basic exercises. Drawing from a life model will help us to become familiar with measuring, tone, as well as objective observation. We will then move on to landscape, drawing inspiration from the surroundings of Frauenau and the Bavarian Forest on various sketching trips. Back in the studio, we will learn to apply oil colours in a variety of ways and develop a quick and exciting way of making marks in order to add a sense of movement and expression to our paintings and bring the landscapes to life. Please bring a selection of your own landscape photographs to work from (on a device, or printed). We’ll look at tone, colour and composition, referring to the work of previous artists.  There will also be an optional portrait painting day.  Please bring a couple of photos as options to paint from.
