With your host John
Join artist Howard Jones for this 1hr Art Class webinar to capture the mood and light of a frozen pond. * Details below * Broadcast live from Wales on 25 October 2022.
**Recommended materials below**
SUMMARY
As a prelude to Howard Jones full 2-3hr Workshop event, you will learn the techniques that Howard uses to convey a small frozen pond set against a winter landscape.
In this tutorial you will learn how to plan and apply your composition. When painting winter scenes there is a real danger of them looking flat. Howard will be teaching you how to make sure that you avoid this potential pitfall by use of good composition. Howard will explain and demonstrate the importance of creating simple thumbnail sketches for a strong and dynamic composition and tonal arrangement. These qualities are essential to creating accomplished and sophisticated looking paintings’
In addition to this Howard will explain his regular methods, choice of colours, brushes and preferred materials.
