EXPERIMENTAL LANDSCAPE PAINTING COURSE

 

The four day Experimental Landscape course taught by Anthony Garratt is an energised and exciting journey in pushing the boundaries of painting through a response to the dramatic landscape of West Cornwall. Anthony will share his knowledge of a wide range of painting processes often encouraging experimentation with paints such as waterbased oils, acrylic mediums and even household paints and artist quality spray paints alongside more traditional materials such as acrylic paints and charcoal.

Composition, paint application, colour, surface and use of tone will be explored and a variety of supports will be used from small sketches on paper to canvas board right through to large scale works on paper. The course is open to all levels of experience from near beginners through to practicing artists. Anthony is the most generous and inspiring of teachers. An exciting immersion into the far reaches of landscape painting.

A reasonable level of fitness is required for this course as there will be some coastal path walking and walking on uneven surfaces to get to a few of the venues.
