LIGHT, SHADOW & COLOUR
Intermediate to advanced
Estimated materials cost: $200*
This workshop is designed to extend your technical
and creative ability by maximising your use of light,
dark and colour in your landscape painting. Hobie
Porter is a nationally recognised oil painter who
also has the ability to teach and explain complex oil
painting procedures in a simple manner. He will begin
by working on a small preparatory tonal painting of
your chosen subject, then proceed to a larger canvas
of the same subject working towards producing a
fully executed landscape painting. Bring a good
quality large landscape photograph of your choice
(both in greyscale and colour) to work from and
two canvasses, plus your
standard oil painting kit.
Hobie Porter is a contemporary
landscape painter focused
on place and environment.
