In this workshop, Les will be expanding on his Arty Class, explaining all the simple processes he goes through to create a painting. Copying photographs does not really help you develop as an artist, one has to practice mark making and techniques. This workshop will help you look again at the way you put those marks on the paper and try and create more light in your work.
Paintings can often look flat without good light, but this is easy to overcome being an artist. Once a sky is painted, he will help you relate this to all parts of your painting.
Les will also explain his choice of pastel, papers and why these are so important. Each paper requires a little more thought as to how to use the pastel. You will also look at blending techniques. But most of all, creating a painting with creative mark making rather than a copy.
