Description
‘Rocks & Surf’ - seascapes in oils or acrylics with David ‘DJ’ Johnson
Saturday 26th October 2024
10am – 4pm
Attic Studio
All abilities welcome, including beginners
Artist David ‘DJ’ Johnson is well known for his stunning plein air paintings – he is an adventurer who likes to climb mountains and paint extraordinary landscapes.
This workshop will be taught through a series of demonstrations and one to one tuition, showing you a variety of techniques and methods for applying paint, including alternatives to brushes. You will study and play with colour, light and textures, allowing for individual creative expression.
The workshop involves exploring the marks and textures found in rock and surf. I will be teaching a variety of techniques using palette knives, brushes (including a rigger brush), fingers and possibly sponges to achieve a wide range of textures and patterns which emulate the marks and textures you find in seascapes where waves meet rock.
DJ will supply photographs of the seascapes and will also bring along some of his own paintings to show you!
