Winter colours in oils. Join us for 2-day workshop and learn to paint serene snow landscapes, frosty trees, twinkling lights and sparkling ice scenes in a warm cosy environment. About the course: Join experienced oil painter and tutor Claire Sandars for a journey into the enchanting palette of winter. In this 2-day workshop, you will learn to capture the subtle beauty of the season using oil paints. On day 1 you will be working on a snowy scene learning subtle and not so subtle paint mixing for the myriad colours seen in winterscapes. On day 2 you will be painting a dramatic woodland scene exploring low winter light and how it effects the light and shadow on trees. Claire's step-by-step guidance will help you explore traditional and contemporary brushwork and colour mixing techniques that bring to life the vibrant and cool tones of winter landscapes. Whether you're a beginner or looking to enhance your skills, this weekend workshop is designed to inspire creativity and confidence in your painting practice.
