'Big landscape' painting course with Helena Clews
Big Landscapes
Colour, Mark & Scale
Explore the drama, colour and scale of the landscape in this five-week painting course.
Over the first three sessions, we will experiment with different ways of approaching landscape through composition, expressive mark-making, texture, colour and atmosphere. These exploratory sessions will help you develop ideas and discover a way of working that feels individual to you.
In the final two weeks, you will bring these ideas together to create a larger landscape painting on canvas, with guidance on building up layers, simplifying forms, creating depth and knowing when a painting is finished.
The course is suitable for a range of abilities, whether you are relatively new to painting or would like to loosen up and develop a more expressive approach to landscape.
Materials
Please bring:
• A selection of landscape images or photographs that inspire you
• A2 sketchbook or cartridge paper
• Pencils and/or charcoal
• Acrylic paints
• A selection of brushes, including at least one larger brush
• A palette or something suitable for mixing paint
• Water pot and cloth/rag
• Apron or old shirt
During the course we may also experiment with materials such as oil pastels, ink and simple mark-making tools. Further guidance will be given during the first sessions.
For the final two weeks, you will need a stretched canvas or canvas board. Recommended size and options will be discussed during the course so that you do not need to purchase this in advance.
