Review of our latest workshops,Talks & Events.
February 22nd – Iain Grant
Paint Venice Like Turner – Watercolour
Iain gave a very informative workshop which was greatly enjoyed by everyone. Below is a review from one of the members’ who attended
‘The Iain Grant workshop was a revelation.
Venice has been an artists dream for centuries, capturing `Turners` heart in 1819.
Iain, a retired orthopaedic surgeon of the gentlest persuasion, has studied Turners Venetian works and methods, resulting in a deep understanding.
This knowledge he shared freely giving us all the benefits of papers, paints and brushes used and sharing the colour maps of several of Turners works for us to copy or be inspired by.
An enlightening and hugely enjoyable day.
Thank you Iain!’
15th March – Michael Hill
Spring Landscape – Mixing Greens
It was full house for Michael Hill’s workshop on mixing greens for a Spring Landscape.
He showed us how to mix all kinds of greens using ultramarine, and raw sienna in different proportions, maybe adding a touch of purple or more blue for darker colours . Then trying cadmium yellow and ultramarine similarly . Some black, and some cadmium red mostly completed the palette. He blocked in the composition on an olive background with translucent paint before introducing any white. An excellent day where everyone seemed to produce some good results . Michael is always an encouraging tutor.
