Landscape Painting from Photos Workshop

In this workshop, we will investigate composition, line, form, tone and colour with the landscape from photographs.  With step by step demonstrations you will be guided through this popular subject and discover why it was so appealing for many artists such as the Impressionists whilst  developing your own individual style. This workshop is for beginners or advanced students.

About the Tutor:

David has taught a wide range of students both young and old, male and female, complete beginners to advanced students. David says that the beginners are often understandably quite nervous at their first class but astounded at times by their rapid progress during the course. This motivation is also inspired by having some of the regular students working around them.
