Seascapes in oils with Annie Musgrove. Adding dynamism to your work.

Join 2023’s overall winner of the Ilminster Open to explore using oils to create atmospheric and expressive seascapes. In this course Annie will focus on how to use the effects of light to add drama and dynamism to your seascape. Over the course of the day, you will learn how to start from an image to abstract key elements and add depth to your compositions resulting in your own unique response to the landscape. Annie’s approach is to encourage experimentation; mark making and play to push the boundaries of your work and give you confidence in making a start on new work. Annie will demonstrate her approach to oil painting using palette knives, rags, sticks and other materials and share many hard-won lessons on composition and technique. Annie is an experienced tutor and will give plenty of hands-on help and discussion time. A selection of Annie’s work can be seen on www.anniemusgrove.co.uk and #anniemusgroveart on facebook and instagram Materials: You are encouraged to bring your own oil paints/water-based oil paints, masking tape, charcoal, table covering and tools such as palette knives, rags, old credit cards. Annie will also bring materials to help people out if they are short. Annie will be working on paper, painting from an image. A selection of images will be available but it would be good if you brought your own images to work from. The more dramatic the better. Annie will supply sheets of paper suitable for painting using oils. These sheets are 50 x 65 cm @ 250 gsm and are available for £1 a sheet. You are welcome to bring your own oil painting paper/boards. Tea, coffee and biscuits will be provided. Please bring a packed lunch.
