Barry will share all his top tips and techniques for creating really dynamic paintings full of light and shadow. The day will start with a brief introduction and we will then work on some quick 'warm up ' exercises on paint mixing. We will have photographs printed here at Pegasus for you to work from, but please bring landscape images of your own if you prefer.

If you’re a novice, amateur or more professional artist, wanting to work closely with an expert in this medium, this will be a fabulous day. The aim of the day is to ‘have a go’!

About Barry: I am a full time artist and have been painting landscapes and seascapes for many years both in the studio and en plein air with my trusty sketchbooks. My favourite medium is watercolour, its immediacy and transparency is hard to beat and I never tire of watching the colours mix and mingle on the paper. Landscapes are my first love but I am at home painting anything from portraits to steam locos. I travel extensively both home and abroad doing demonstrations and workshops to Art Clubs and Societies. I am also an author of Travelling Sketchbook and Successful and Creative Washes.

All students will need to bring in the following:
• Some small pieces of watercolour paper for the initial exercises
• A piece of watercolour paper, preferably not less than 140lb and either NOT or Rough depending on your personal preference and not less than 1/4 sheet ( 15 x 11") Please tape your sheet to a board. I use Saunders Waterford and Hahnemuhle 'Andalucia'

• A folding palette with deep wells to carry sufficient colour mixes. I have designed my own ‘Cloverleaf’ palette which will be available to purchase on the day.
• Schmincke Horadam watercolours - Recommended colours: Pure yellow, Aureolin, Indian Yellow, Rose Madder, Madder Red Dark, Madder Brown, Cobalt Blue, Ultramarine finest, Helio Turquoise and Manganese Violet.
• Barry recommends that pigments are transparent or semi-transparent. If you're not sure bring all your colours along and he will go through them with you.
• Brushes – Barry uses Da Vinci Cosmotops Round – they are a synthetic/sable mix and hold bags of water and come to a great point. Recommended sizes ~ 12,8, 6 and 4 and a few riggers no’s 4 and 2. These are just a guide.

• Spray diffuser bottle to keep the paints moist.

Using oils or acrylics, this full day workshop will include a live sitter and a guarantee that you will not only discover another dimension to portrait painting, but an exciting departure from the usual ‘flat lighting’.

10.00am - 4.00pm

Acrylic ink, acrylic paint & collage. All abilities welcome. Opportunity to purchase signed copies of 'A Tree Within' at the end of the workshop (£25) Workshop price:£60

Successive Romantic movements from the late 18th century to the present day have featured landscape painting as a subject in its own right, which often emerged at times of anxiety and troubled world events. These include the high Romantic era of the early nineteenth century, the Pre-Raphaelites, the Pastoral Etchers, Neo-Romantics and environmentally engaged contemporaries such as the Arborealists. Fiona has been drawing and painting trees and landscape for the last 30 years. As a member of the contemporary art movement Arborealists she is uniquely qualified to bring her skills, knowledge and passion for nature to this unique course.

The course will involve spending a day in the studio developing paintings and collage on large sheets of watercolour paper working from previous sketchbook material using a variety of coloured media and paint. We will NOT be working directly from photographs so it is important that sketches and drawings are made outdoors in advance of the course. I teach students in such a way that their minds are opened to new possibilities of 'seeing'. Once students are freed from unhelpful habits I encourage self-expression through experimentation of media and techniques.

There will also be the opportunity to purchase a signed copy of Fiona’s book, 'A Tree Within’ written with co-author Alan Wilkinson for £25. Read more about the book here.

About Fiona: Fiona McIntyre studied at Edinburgh College of Art, followed by Malmö and an M.A from Winchester. She is a figurative/landscape painter and member of the Arborealists with work represented in various public, corporate and private collections in the UK and Scandinavia. She is currently exhibiting in France at Dortoir des Moines de Saint-Benoit, Poitiers and in a major exhibition at Southampton City Art Gallery in - 'Capture the Castle, Turner to Le Brun'. She is co-author with Dr Alan Wilkinson of "Fiona McIntyre: A Tree Within", published 2016 (Sansom & Co) and recently gave an illustrated talk on her art for a book signing event at Waterstones, Gower Street.

'Becoming Vincent' an Illustrated Talk by Sarah Wimperis

FRIDAY 14TH JUNE 2019

5.00pm - 7.00pm

Tickets £8

Sarah Wimperis is a professional artist and the only English artist to join the team of one hundred and twenty five international artist-animators to inhabit the works of Vincent Van Gogh in the making of Oscar nominated film, Loving Vincent.

Her illustrated talk gives an insight into the creation of the film and life inside the studios in Poland where she worked for six months. Answering a discreet advert on Facebook changed her life, and she went on to paint over three hundred and eighty frames in total – an average of four canvases per day, which translated into a grand total of thirty seconds of film!

The film took six years of development, over 1,345 paintings and 65,000 frames that re-imagined a period of Van Gogh’s life into film. An astonishing 1,300 litres of oil paint was used by artists from nineteen countries across the world.

Eight weeks painting a wheat field that took Van Gogh four hours, was a painstaking process. If anyone knows how to paint in the colours, style and technique of Van Gogh, it’s Sarah! Find out what happens when you ‘Become Vincent’ and how much oil paint you really need to hand paint a feature film!

Join us in our newly refurbished Attic Studios at Pegasus Art for this early evening talk and also for the workshop she is running during the day - Van Gogh Portraits.

'Painting The Vines'- Oil Painting Masterclass at Woodchester Valley Vineyard with Lucy Kent

MONDAY 17TH & TUESDAY 18TH JUNE 2019

10.00am - 4.00pm

£150

All Abilities Welcome

Sponsored by Michael Harding Paints

Lucy Kent is a seasoned landscape painter with a passion for the great outdoors, painting in all weathers, all over the world. She has a strong focus on the visceral quality of the paint itself, often creating thick impasto style work. She will delight in showing you how to mix a landscape colour palette, how to plan your composition and execute an en plein air painting.

If the weather is inclement, the group will continue to work outdoors under a covered barn. Lucy will begin with a demo and will then help you start your own paintings. You will be free to watch Lucy paint throughout the day alongside you, and she will give regular positive critiques of your painting and help whenever needed. This masterclass will have a strong focus on light and colour and will give you confidence to be loose and expressive with your brush and/or palette knife.

About Lucy: Lucy is a contemporary landscape artist painting in oil, predominantly en plein-air, taking her paints wherever she travels. She trained at Charles H Cecil Studios in Florence and has exhibited with The Royal Society of British Artists and The Royal Institute of Oil Painters, among others, at The Mall Galleries, London. Originally trained in portraiture, the last five years have seen her focus on landscape painting. Her work hangs in both private and commercial collections in the UK and abroad ~ she has had two sell out shows to date.

Lucy views her work like a visual diary, intimately recording her experiences and the beauty in the world around her. A palette knife is used to build the layers and tell the story of the scene unfolding, which results in an energetic and vibrant response to the subject matter. She is particularly inspired by dramatic lights and will often re-visit the same spot a few times at different times of day and year, drawing inspiration from the Impressionist movement in modern day. Although figurative in style, Lucy has a strong focus on the visceral quality of the paint itself, so areas of the painting when isolated appear completely abstract.

For more information about Lucy visit www.lucy-kent.com

Woodchester Valley Vineyard: Woodchester Valley Vineyard has three sites in Gloucestershire ~ Amberley, Woodchester and Stonehouse covering forty five acres with a total of 60,000 vines. For this painting masterclass, we will be based in Woodchester, just a ten minute drive from Pegasus Art Shop. We hope there are lush green vines to paint in the middle of June!

We will have use of the wine tasting room from where we will venture out and explore the vines before setting up for painting. There is an open sided, large covered barn where we can paint in bad weather. Please bring your own packed lunch for a midday break, with a brief wine tasting! There is tea and coffee available on the day.
