The course will explore the technique of alla prima painting in oils. Creating skyscapes and seascapes linked to those traditions of the Sublime and Romantic in painting. Highlighting artists such as Turner, Constable and Whistler. The techniques used are unusual in that there is very little use of brushes as the work is created using paper and rags.
Week 1: Creating stormy skyscapes using techniques of ragging, blending, lifting and scumbling.
Week 2: Using those techniques learnt in portraying a stormy sea.
Week 3: Looking at the atmospheric and romantic paintings of Turner in his use of colour to create a misty morning scene.
Week 4: Looking at the paintings of Whistler in creating a nocturne.
Oil paints:
Prussian blue
Pthalo green
Titanium white
Unbleached white
Raw umber
Yellow ochre
Ivory black
Rose pink or flesh pink
Cerulean or Kings blue
Burnt sienna
Poppy red
All brands are good, Winsor and Newton, Cranfield are my go to with staples such as Titanium White.
Paper: Anything which is 250gms or 225gms in weight and smooth is best. It might do as well to invest in an A2 sketchbook to start with.
White spirit (low odour): Local hardware stores should supply this.
Paper towels: A couple of rolls to start with, the cheaper the better, its less scratchy.
A small range of brushes. Thin, medium and wide as well as a soft brush to blend (this we will do later on in the course)
Old toothbrush or better still an old small brush for stippling.
Gloves (it can get messy…old clothes to work in is a must)
Bowl or small container for your white spirit
Plastic bag for rubbish (we do get through a lot of paper towels)
Masking tape
