This workshop is all about colour. Join Franics for a whole day of oil painting, where you will be guided through a process of perceptual simplification and visual enhancement. 

Landscape as a subject matter can often present the painter with an overwhelm of information which must then be organised into a coherent arrangement of light, colour and design. Using his painting practice as a reference, your tutor will aim to prepare you for your own, unique journey into  colour. 

Demonstration, explanation of materials and discussion of painting examples will form the basis of instruction alongside a high level of individual instruction during this practical outdoor landscape painting session. 

With simplicity as a central theme of the workshop, small scale canvases will be used to aid the creation of our colour study paintings. A nearby location will be decided near the time, with a studio based contingency class prepared in case of rain.

Francis Martin’s work explores the light emulating effects of charcoal graphite and oil paint. Working from life and before the motif he aims to convey a personal response to his environment and the world around him. As a result his practice encompasses a broad variety of ideas and subject matter, including portraiture, landscape, life-drawing, still life and interiors.

Graduating with a BA in Fine art Practice and theory from Winchester school of art in 2009, Francis went on to study on a postgraduate Scholarship at the Royal Drawing School. Francis Martin exhibits widely and has undertaken residencies in the UK and Italy.
