Buildings in the Landscape; course
24th February to 31st March
Structures in the landscape often owe their existence to the land they are built on, whether to protect the terrain, to farm it or simply occupy it. In the same way it is good to consider the contours of the landscape before embarking on a painting inspired by man-made structures. Over six weeks we will draw and paint some of the following; a bridge, viaduct, stone wall or cairn, a derelict or deserted house, a castle, mine buildings, or fishing hut or barn. This course will include drawing, mark making and painting.
Suitable materials would be any drawing media (ink, charcoal, graphite) and for painting, watercolour or pastel. For texture have some candle wax or a couple of wax crayons or oil pastels to hand for use as a resist with wet media.

Jo’s watercolour workshop explores the colours of Morocco that left a lasting impression on her. We will reference the works of Paul Klee, and August Macke, derived from their famous journey to Tunisia with Louis Moilliet in 1914, simplifying shapes, and experimenting with loose grids of colour.
Please bring your own watercolours, brushes and paper, a sketchbook for working out ideas and if you would like to bring your own, a reference from North Africa.
