By the end of the retreat a student will have made 12-18 small landscapes. Gouache is becoming more and more popular as a travel sketch medium, when a light weight set up is needed to explore new places and ideas before committing to something more high stakes like a larger oil painting. Indeed, 'the vignette' through history is an efficient method with which to explore all the elements of landscape painting. Gouache lends itself when time is limited, and for the freedom it gives to work small, fast and experiment with more unconventional subjects in a way that is not always possible with oil. Gouache is brillaint for it's convenience, rapid set up and clean up as well as creating a bold, colourful aesthetic. The Watercolour Landscape Jason Bentley is a masterful watercolour painter and tutor with 30 years of painting experience, teaching the art of distilling complex information with a structured and buildable approach. Alongside colour/palette theory and brush marking techniques unique to watercolour, students will learn the art of seeing with efficiency. Creating bold and intentional translations from the beautiful land around them. Jason will give short bitesize demos to support students throughout the day. The second half of the morning, then full afternoon sessions will be allocated for working on your own painting. You will make 3-6 paintings during the retreat, organised into themes to support an increasing understanding including the monochromatic approach, 'The English Method’, and full palette applications Please note all prices + VAT Dinner in the Castle Monday 31st August £90 Please e-mail the school with your preference and all enquiries info@edinburghdrawingschool.co.uk
