In this informative workshop, Elinor will begin by explaining how to draw the actual size of the objects by measuring and comparing them to each other and how to use photographs as an aid to painting.
During the painting section Elinor will show how to judge and achieve depth and recession with the tone of the subject and will cover in depth the use of a palette knife, including advice on when to use it because it uses far more paint than a brush which is costly if employed for an entire painting.
