LEON HOLMES OIL PAINTING MASTERCLASS, PLEIN AIR DOWN UNDER
WHEN BOOKING, PLEASE ENSURE ONE JUDGING CATEGORY IS SELECTED (ZERO VALUE) IN ADDITION TO THE MASTERCLASS REGISTRATION
As a feature artist at Plein Air Down Under 2021, Leon will conduct a two-day plein air Oil Painting Masterclass, recommended for intermediate/advanced artists painting during the festival weekend of 25 - 27 September.
“Exploring the planet, a small box of paints, a few brushes and a rag, making marks with colour, seeing the beauty on offer…simply gratitude for life.” Leon Holmes
Leon is an international award-winning plein air artist, lecturer and ambassador. He paints on location, without the aid of photography, and uses these small studies as reference for larger studio works. He is regularly invited to exhibit and teach at events around the world, working alongside the elite of professional Plein Air Artists.
Painting in oil in the old masters’ style of impressionistic realism, he quickly captures natural light and colour to create paintings loaded with drama and beauty.
In this Masterclass, Leon will be teaching in oils, focusing on perspective and scale, lights and darks, tonal values, colour mixing and a myriad of oil painting tips and tricks.
After daily demonstrations on how to capture a scene under constantly changing conditions, Leon will be assisting students individually.
Students with some experience in oil painting will get the most out of this workshop, but if you have been painting for years and feel your work needs a new direction, you will also love it!
