Colour and texture in the Landscape Tutor Sara Bor

Thursday 20th and Friday 21st March 2014  9.30am – 4.30pm

This 2 day workshop is about a response to landscape through colour, marks and textures. It focuses on building up the surface of the canvas using either oil or acrylic to create a unique and exciting outcome, informing your practice with some fresh and exciting ideas. You will be drawing directly from the landscape, exploring how to create a unique colour palette;  experimenting with mark making  using a range of different tools to create individual textures and  building up layers of colour, then applying the new skills you have learnt to develop your ideas on canvas with one to one tuition available.

 

The workshop is aimed at both artists and beginners wishing to explore new methods of working.

Day 1 will focus on drawing directly from the landscape, detailed sketches, colour studies and photographs.  In the afternoon back in  the studio there will be demonstrations  and you will be carrying out colour exercises, mark making exercises developing your ideas and preparing your canvases.

Day 2 will be studio based, using your reference material you will be transferring your ideas to canvas experimenting with all the skills you have learnt on first day, with one to one tuition available.

My Working with oils - Colour and Texture Workshop on Friday 18th October

 included a group of both professional and amateur artists who were keen to learn new skills to enhance their own practice.  Several of the students hadn't worked in oils before and  they enjoyed the experience of exploring the qualities of the medium and investigating different techniques of applying the paint to the canvas and creating a varied range of marks.

After experimenting with colour mixing exercises in the morning, the students choose a limited colour palette for each of the 2 paintings they worked on. The paintings drew reference from drawings of the landscape produced during the day and also from their own drawings and photographs.

Sarah Acock

The objective was for students to have a new approach to painting by exploring how to mix a unique range of colours and building up layers of paint using a variety of tools with which to make different marks, including palette knives, rollers, rags, sticks, hands as well as a range of different types of brushes.

The results at the end of this very full on day were stunning and individual with each students pushing the boundaries of their comfort zones to create new and exciting work.

I will be repeating this workshop early in the new year. for more information
