In this short course our focus will be on painting interesting skies using large brushes, so our theme is ‘Big Sky; Big Brush’.

Our studio is a place for you to plan and start a painting; then bring it to fruition with support and encouragement from an experienced oil painter. Over the four sessions Diana will

  • show examples of other painters’ work and explain some techniques for painting a variety of different skies
  • help you compose and start your own painting on the theme ‘Big Sky’’, using your own photos and sketches as a starting point
  • show you ways in which different painting techniques can be used most effectively as your painting progresses

Materials

We shall provide the following equipment for each session:

  • Studio easel, chair and small table
  • Non-toxic painting medium
  • Large single use paper palettes
  • Jam jar for holding wet brushes
  • Space on a drying rack to hold one wet painting per artist between sessions
