Find new ways to connect with the landscape around you with this expressive and explorative online webinar.
Following on from artist Natalie Day’s first webinar ‘Experimental Landscapes’ (although it is not essential that you attended), deepen your relationship with the landscape and find ways to bring a greater sense of place and meaning to your work.
Learn new, powerful tools for moving on from a ‘stuck’ painting, and see how writing can offer another technique to connect with the landscape. Ideal if you are looking for new ways to invigorate your practice and approach your work as well as strengthen the connection between your subject, yourself and the viewer.
There will be a pre-course task to complete beforehand to visit a site that inspires your work and to document it in various ways: note-taking, photographs, reference sketches, or simply walking and sitting. Working from this task, previous work and from memory, develop drawings which will eventually be made into a larger painting.
Who is this course for?
Suitable for complete beginners and more experienced painters alike, this course is ideal if you are looking for new tools and techniques to loosen up and deepen connection with your practice. This can act as a standalone class but also builds upon the previous Experimental Abstract Landscape webinar led by Natalie which can be purchased here.
What will I learn?
1. Deepen your sense of place and meaning with your immediate environment.
2. Develop an existing painting or practice with writing.
3. Loosen your approach to drawing and painting.
4. Learn new tools to use when ‘stuck’ with a particular artwork.
