Painting Light in the style of Turner (oils) with Mark Stopforth
Saturday 1st November 2025
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! A one-day workshop that explores the art of painting an ephemeral light with leanings towards the art of J.M.W Turner, looking in particular at his Venetian themed works. The workshop will be exploring the use of oils in a limited palette (see list of materials). Initially working on paper with the option of either going large scale or working directly onto canvas.
The session will be broken down into an introduction, then some quick sketches in oils, experimenting in a ragged technique, painting largely with rags and kitchen towel but a range of brushes for detailing and blending will be required. 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 and Turner 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.”
