Course Structure

Students venture out into the parks of London where Ann Witheridge, founder of London Fine Art Studios, teaches the key stages of painting a landscape in oils. You will learn about composition, colour relationships and colour harmony:

“everything must compose well as much for the form as for the colour, light and shade” (Joseph Vernet, 1714 – 1789).  

Ann also gives regular critiques and demonstrations.  In case of wet weather, a studio is reserved so that the group can do compositional studies and carry on developing their paintings indoors.

Course content

The landscape course follows the same structure as the foundation course, working from sketches and value studies, and then moving on to oils. The pace, however, is much swifter as we move onto oil paints on day two

In addition to our term time courses, we run landscape painting short courses in July and September. Click here to see what’s on.

Materials

In addition to your painting and basic drawing kit, you will also need an easel suitable for taking out with you. Please feel free to email info@londonfineartstudios.com if you have any specific questions.
