For the artist, mid-winter offers unique qualities of light, colour and pattern despite the short daylight hours and challenging weather. On this course we will go to accessible northern Lake District landscape locations to explore these qualities in sketching. I will then help you to develop expressive studio responses in both drawing and painting. Through watching demonstrations of materials and techniques and exploring ideas from the history of landscape painting you can find more powerful ways of representing your feelings about and understanding of landscape and nature. Outdoor sketching will be for up to 1 ½ hours depending on weather so please bring appropriate warm clothing and footwear.
