Upcoming Art Course - Painting Lighthouses

Original Watercolour Sketch by Lee Papworth 2018

My next art course is called 'Painting Lighthouses.'  This is a chance to paint a lighthouse as a focal point of your painting - whether it be on land, on a peninsula or out at sea. It can be set at night or daytime, in stormy weather or brilliant sunshine - the choice is yours!

4 week painting course 'Painting Lighthouses'

(open medium - oils, acrylics, watercolour, gouache & pastels)

Starting Friday 20th April, 10:00 to 12:30pm, Northwood W.I.Hall, £70 cash.

Some of the topics covered - Looking at famous lighthouse paintings and artists, creating a sense of scale and proportion, aspects of perspective (3 point) and the basics of mixing sea and sky colours.

If you would like to join this exciting course please use the blog contact form.  The course is also available as a one-to-one course.  More art courses will follow in May including classes at Bembridge.

Happy Painting!

Painting Animals in the Landscape - February 2018

Original acrylic painting by Helen 2018

I recently finished teaching a new and exciting course 'Animals in the Landscape'.  The students had a choice of picking domestic pets, farm animals or more exotic wild animals.  Nearly all the students had never tackled the subject before.  Given this fact I feel that the following paintings are very successful and some are even outstanding.
