Click on the video above to hear Lois telling you about Mike Willdridge’s latest interactive online painting session with the Watermill. As Lois says, what could be nicer than painting Italian sunshine? — And that’s just what you’ll be doing along with Mike on Thursday 25 January. Details and a link below.
Mike says: “This painting’s focus is on the light effects known as ‘contra jour’ – against the light. The challenge is to paint the warmth of the sunlight (almost in our eyes) using contrasting values and warm and cool colours.”
