Rather than working on just one finished piece I will demonstrate the different elements in small sketches/paintings (4" x 6") as there are so many different ways to render the same subject.
My intention is to do a landscape workshop in all four seasons, so you may wish to choose your favourite view and paint a version of it in each season.
Below are my notes for painting the landscape in winter, which I hope will be of interest to you, together with a list of recommended equipment to bring with you on the day. Feel free to print out my notes and add your own notes and observations.
Things to bring with you on the day:-
- Lots of paper, plus strips for testing.
- Paints, palette, water jars
- Brushes, sponges
- Pencil, rubber, ruler
- Reference photos of your favourite views and skies. If you have a tablet it might be handy to connect up to my wi-fi so we can share images on the day.
- Something to cover your table
- Masking fluid and applicators
- Masking tape to edge your pictures with
- Salt, wax, a piece of cling film, a piece of plastic (credit) card and spay bottle for textural effects
- White paint if you wish to splatter “snow”
- Your lunch
