Shapes in the sand – how to make your beach paintings look more professional
This course explores the methods Jason has developed to render sometimes complex patterns in the sand with a limited number of marks. You will also examine the direction of movement and perspective structure that underpins the picture. In other words – he will expain how and why the marks and methods he uses work within beach scene painting.
Did you miss your chance to paint at Cambois?
Jason has added a second date at Cambois on the 1st of September. full details can be viewed here
At the first session Jason concentrated on painting shapes in the sand to capture the look of the sand pools. This session will look at tuning your skills at painting the sky directly from nature and drawing and painting figures and dogs.

New Sargent course on Studio!
The brand new Masters section offers something very special to subscribers to studio. Jason explains the working methods of Sargent and Turner, in easily understandable lessons, so that you can begin to emulate their styles.
Jason has spent years working with the Museums service providing demonstrations and courses on the methods of the old masters. Working directly from orriginals, unpicking the processes that were employed by various painters, Jason has become something of an expert in this area of watercolour.
Prior to the lockdown, Jason had begun to teach specific courses on the methods of artists. These courses have helped shape the online lessons on Studio. The advantage of Studio is the level of depth that can be offered. Over time the Masters sections will cover much more than you would have learnt in a ten week course of two hours.
8 sections of studio are now active. All for the cost of a cup of coffee a week.
