'Unfolding Landscapes - in Natural Inks' with Tim Watson Beginners and intermediates.
We're very excited to have chanced upon this talented local artist who not only 'lives, eats and breathes' the Cumbrian fells by running across them at everyone opportunity, but also manages to represent them on paper in many surprising and beautiful ways!
This particular course with Tim is exploring the contours and character of the unfolding Landscape using Tim's own handmade Ink ~ using the Oak Galls he has gathered on his travels!
Oak Gall Ink was historically the earliest ink of choice, used on parchment, vellum, and all things legal. The Magna Carta, the American Declaration of Independence and Jane Austin’s Pride and Prejudice were all written in Oak Gall Ink.
Tim will introduce this unusual medium, which for him has become a firm favourite over recent years, showing different techniques, effects and ideas on paper. A step by step demonstration will then follow using the camera and screen, meaning students can paint alongside from their desks, altogether. After completion and over the afternoon students can try out all they've learned using other reference material and photos with Tim's support. Several options will be available in both watercolours and acrylics for bursts of colour if required.
