It is worthwhile being an Early Bird. See below
Our new Australian tutor, Mark Dober, loves to make paintings and drawings in the landscape. He says: “The beauty of nature inspires me, but also a sense of its strangeness. My work expresses both belonging and otherness. I seek to convey immediacy and a sense of the experiential in my work, hence the necessity of working on site.†Mark will be with us next June (details and a link below).
As well as a talented artist, Mark is also an experienced teacher. He will demonstrate in watercolour, though you can choose to use (or at least, try) other painting media – gouache, acrylics and oils. He will proceed step by step, increasingly giving individual attention to each artist’s work. One previous student said: “Mark has a wealth of knowledge about plein air painting and shares his knowledge generously. No matter what skill level you have he can give you the confidence and encouragement to put paint to (surface/canvas/paper) in a way which is fresh and exciting.â€
Come and join us, paint in the fresh air and see nature through fresh eyes with Mark. And don’t forget you will be Cool and Green at the Watermill: we have air-conditioning everywhere, all powered by our hidden array of photovoltaic cells which make us self-sufficient in electricity production.
We have a special Early Bird offer: if you book before 31 December 2022, there is a £75 (English pounds) discount on James’s 2023 course.
