When: 23 April - 25 April
Where: Private Farm off Klaassens Road in Constantia, Cape Town
I taught a plein air landscape painting workshop on a beautiful farm in Constantia, with views of the mountain and vineyards, for three mornings on the last weekend of April 2021.
On Day 1 I gave a demo of how to start your painting off, showing how to mix paint, setting up your composition, paint handling, how to judge values and understanding how atmosphere affects colour. Everyone began their painting in a limited pallet of Ultramarine Blue, Cerulean Blue, Yellow Ochre, Burnt Sienna and White, focusing primarily on the drawing aspects of the painting.
On day 2 everyone completed their painting using a full palette.
On Day 3 we changed locations, everyone picked their own spots and tried to complete a full painting.
The workshop was sold out and attended by people of varying levels. Everyone made amazing work and I can’t wait until the next workshop! Stay tuned!
