Join Lionel for expert guidance and advice on working ‘en plein air.’ Learn about the advantages of this way of working quickly and spontaneously to capture the changing character of weather and light in the landscape, and how to use your sketches, paintings, photographs and other visual notes or materials gathered for reference (a piece of bark or blade of grass) as source materials for further paintings made back in the studio. Explore the varied landscapes of the northern Lake District then return to the studio for demonstrations using watercolour and acrylics, discussion of equipment, materials and technical troubleshooting. Join Lionel for expert guidance and advice using either his choice of demonstration media, such as watercolours and acrylics, or your preferred ones for drawing and painting.
