Kathie Odom
13th - 17th July
5 Day 'En Plein Air' Oil Workshop
In this workshop Kathie Odom will teach how a colourist travels to a new place, an English garden, sees what is in front of them and undresses the scene to get the depth of values without missing out on the vibrancy of colour. Plus you will enjoy the sense of being with your people in a community... a real family affair!
Mark Boedges
20th - 24th July
5 Day 'En Plein Air' Oil Workshop
Mark paints many different subjects, but 'the landscape is my first and greatest love'. He is 'profounded by the power of light'. His commitment to 'capturing and sharing this light with others is the purpose underlying everything I do.'
Johanne Mangi
10th - 14th August
5 Day part 'En Plein Air' - part Studio Workshop
'Having learned to paint from life, bringing live dogs and horses into her workshops was a natural step. This provides a spark of inspiration along with valuable information and maybe just a bit of chaos!'
Haidee-Jo Summers
19th - 23rd August
5 Day part 'En Plein Air' - part Studio Workshop
'My work is a celebration of light-filled moments revealed in rich and vibrant oil paint using my personal visual language of fresh and direct brushmarks. Painting en plein air is central to my practise, but I am equally at home working from a model, still life or interior.'
Aldo Balding
26th - 30th August
5 Day part 'En Plein Air' - part Studio Workshop with models
Aldo looks for colour harmonies that already exist in the subject. He squints a lot when painting and this helps him to simplify everything, see things within a hierarchy- the sharpest edge, the lightest part, the order of things that he is searching for. He works quickly, spending almost as much time on the setup and ideas as on the painting itself.
