The workshop is suited to those with some painting experience but starting out
with oils & those who would like to improve on existing skills while getting to
grips with the challenges of working en plein air.
Fran's medium of choice is traditional oil paint and her teaching methods are
based on their use, however you are more than welcome to attend if you use
water mixable oils or acrylic paints as many of the techniques she
uses/teaches are transferable. Oil paints can be supplied for a small additional
fee.
“In the footsteps of Turner” is taking place on Wednesday 1st August @ The
Hub, Bodiam, East Sussex.
With special permission from the landowners, we will set up our easels to paint
the River Rother and Bodiam Bridge, with glimpses of Bodiam Castle. This is a
view that J.M.W. Turner painted (probably in the 1810’s or 1820’s) in his
painting “Bodiam Castle, Sussex“. This is an exciting workshop location offering
you an opportunity to paint in the footsteps of Joseph Mallord William Turner
RA (1775-1851), one of the most famous English Romantic painters. Painting
subject matter includes:- Bodiam Bridge, the River Rother and its beautiful
Bodiam Valley surroundings.
Small groups will ensure plenty of one-to-one tuition.
