A fantastic opportunity to join me on an outdoor landscape oil painting workshop in the beautiful grounds of the Mountfield Winery in Sussex. The day will include practical demonstrations from me and we will paint together on location, focusing on simplification, values and composition.

​

About the Workshop
At the start of the day, we will walk to our first location for a painting demonstration with an introduction to painting outdoors and we will look at the equipment and palette. The demo focuses on composition, blocking in, light and tonal values. You will then begin to work on a painting and putting these ideas into practise at this beautiful location. 

After a picnic lunch, we will move on to a new location. There will be another short painting demonstration from me to help us focus on the key elements and shapes of our chosen painting spot. The remainder of the afternoon will be spent painting together where I will work with each artist to enable progression. 

 

A collective display of the paintings created will be held at the end of last session to give us an opportunity to discuss and share our experiences in a friendly and relaxed approach. 

 

The day will be finished by sampling the amazing wine produced by Mountfield Winery hosted by the owners.

This workshop will suit artists with an interest in landscape painting and being out in the elements, all levels welcome.

Includes picnic lunch, refreshments and wine tasting.

 

About Me

I am an Associate Member with the Royal Society of Marine Artists and the Royal Institute of Oil Painters, exhibiting at the Mall Galleries in London every year. I am one of the original members of the selection committee for the Hampstead Art Society and I am on its judging panel each year for its annual summer exhibition.

Spending my childhood growing up in New Zealand, I was introduced to oil painting at an early age by my father. At sixteen, I achieved membership to the Society of Architectural Illustrators and went on to complete my art training with a degree in Illustration at the University of Kent at Canterbury.

The beautiful sense of light and shadow that was so much part of my early life in New Zealand has informed my painting subjects ever since. I use this keen sense of light to render my local landscape which includes the countryside, coast, marine subjects and London. 

About the Venue

The Mountfield Estate and Winery is a couple of miles from the site of the Battle of Hastings and the estate is recorded in the Domesday Book.

The Winery has been developed over the last twelve years. They produce low quantities of first class sparkling wines in an artisan way. The vineyard has 14,000 vines of chardonnay, pinot noir and pinot meunier which is small enough that they can look after every plant carefully throughout the season.
