This workshop is an ideal introduction to landscape painting in oils. Working from a reference photo provided a landscape painting will be produced with attention to perspective, tonal values, colour mixing and application of colours. Students will be able to create a realistic landscape painting following a step-by-step process. The process will cover:
Using oil paints
Measuring and mapping out key features from the photograph with reference to perspective
The importance of tonal value, hue and chroma in creating landscapes
Organisation of a colour palette and approach to painting
Cordell will provide painting demonstrations during the day, and supporting handouts as part of the workshop to explain the techniques and approach involved.

“Such an enjoyable way to spend a day. I’m never happy with any of the work I produce, but I can genuinely say I’m pleased with how this turned out”
