Mark Warner is an artist and tutor who lives in Shropshire in England. He is not only a respected artist but also a highly professional tutor with many years of teaching experience.
Mark is passionate about working outside, tutoring numerous day and residential plein air holidays. His sessions are very popular -- and he leads by example, creating a relaxed and encouraging environment. He says “I adore using colour while interpreting the light, weather and a love for the materials. I work directly in the field (literally on many occasions!) from sketches created outside as well as notes and photographs taken on location.”
Sketching is at the heart of Mark’s work: “This is important in the development of a piece and on many occasions, forming an integral part of the painting itself.” Mark works on coloured grounds, incorporating aspects of mark-making and directional brushstrokes within the work. He says: “I continue to draw inspiration from the landscape, although subject matter can be broad and at times very different.”

Mark’s painting/drawing course at The Watermill
“There is nothing like drawing and painting outside on location.”
Mark will concentrate on demonstrating numerous drawing and painting techniques with an emphasis on colour, line and atmosphere. In a relaxed and encouraging environment, he will offer helpful and informative advice while enabling you to move your painting forward.
The Watermill and its surroundings will form a beautiful backdrop to experiment with colour and drawing. Whether you are a more experienced artist or just beginning your painting adventure, painting outside is something all should experience.
