Sublime & Stormy Seas in oils with Mark Stopforth
Saturday 11th May 2024
Attic Studio
10am – 4pm
All abilities welcome
We’re delighted to welcome Mark Stopforth as a visiting tutor at Pegasus Art. As a professional artist and art teacher for many years, Mark has the perfect CV for this role!
This is a day workshop exploring the art of capturing a storm at sea through expressive mark making and layering of oils on paper. The workshops will be exploring the technique of “alla prima” which is wet on wet paint.
The session will be broken down into an introduction, then some quick sketches in oils, experimenting in a ragged technique with no paint brushes used. These sketches will then lead into an afternoon of painting on a larger scale using the new techniques you’ve acquired. Everything you need for this workshop is available to buy in our warehouse shop with an extra 5% discount.
About Mark
Mark is inspired by the landscapes of Constable, Claude, Cotman Turner and Ivan Aivazosky among others. He has exhibited around the country, notably at the Royal West of England Academy and has been painting (and writing award winning poetry) for over twenty years. He is represented by the Hope Gallery, and works exclusively in charcoal, pencil and oil. “Stopforth captures the majesty and drama of the British landscape at its wildest while expressing a profound reverence for the sublime tradition.”
