With Penn Studio School of Art. Visit their website here
With a focus on the dynamic and expressive Oil sketches of Constable, the course will look at the importance of looseness and mark making in landscape painting and how we are able to see and approach both studio and en plein air painting
This course aims to show you how to borrow some of Constable’s techniques, instead of copying his style and how we can use them to complement our own visual language and style.
Focuses will be on:
Mark making
Atmosphere building
Scumbling
Colour mixing
Spontaneity and being loose.
