Capture the colour & atmosphere of the seasons in pastel with professional artist Jeremy Ford.
In this DVD, Jeremy Ford paints landscapes in each of the four seasons, on the way explaining most of the techniques a beginner will need to get started in this fascinating medium. The four paintings demonstrated are:
Spring:
A bluebell meadow with a foreground tree & a distant hedgerow, where you will learn how to layer a sky, how to blend & soften colours & how to work with both limited & fine detail.
Summer:
A beach scene on coloured ground where the base paper is part of the foreground beach. Jeremy will show you how to use masking tape to delineate the divide between sea & sky & also how to paint waves & include distant figures.
Autumn:
A big, dramatic sky forms the backdrop to a richly-coloured moorl&. The white of the paper is used to form the clouds from negative shapes, which are given depth & volume by the use of greys to create shadow.
Winter:
A lone figure & a dog wade through drifts of snow against an orange sunset, where the colours graduate subtly from blue to orange as they meet the horizon. Middle-distance trees are backlit by the last rays of the sun & the cold is palpable.
