About the course
A full day workshop event, starting with outdoor sketching of subjects around Stainforth, a short explanation from the artist before you head out to previously chosen venues, and settle down to sketch one or more scenes/places/items/ in the sketch books (to be provided).
Returning to base for lunch, then you will choose one of the sketches to work up into a full size line and wash painting. A quick demo and full explanation of John’s techniques and methods will be given to guide you.
John will offer advice and help as needed throughout the session and the aim will be to each have a finished painting ready to mount.
(If the weather is really bad, then we will replace the morning sketching with work from a series of reference photos that will be supplied.)
This course is part of Stories in Stone, a scheme of conservation and community projects concentrated on the Ingleborough area. The scheme was developed by the Ingleborough Dales Landscape Partnership, led by Yorkshire Dales Millennium Trust, and supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund.
