It was great to be outdoors teaching again today at Cambois. Some new outdoor painting days and courses will be posted up soon so look out for the email notifications.
Not getting post notifications about new courses and latest videos loaded to studio – then sign up to the newsletter today.
This week we have added two new John Singer Sargent painting videos which show you how to paint a finished watercolour similar to the image below.
Content is added weekly
Jason will be performing live for SAA on their website on the 28th of this Month [ tomorrow] streaming a demonstration from his studio to their headquarters at 11:00 GTM. This can only be seen by SAA members.
‘Cut stencil 2’ explores a more creative use of stencils, when painting trees with watercolour. This new video can be found in the tree lessons section.
I also discuss my artwork ‘Lakeland River’ in the talking art section.
This week we have added the 20th Tree Lesson in Studio which looks at the use of a cut stencil. I am loving the process of building a truly comprehensive library of videos. With new videos added every week to Studio it won’t take long before other sections of Studio are reaching these kinds on numbers.
I also share my personal journey this week, talking about creating this watercolour in a video in the talking art section.
You can now watch both parts of my recent facebook live broadcast, in which I painted a watercolour from the photograph, seen below, on my professional facebook page:
Facebook live tomorrow at 12:00 on my facebook buisiness page:
Jason Skill – Painting with Skill
The first broadcast has been watched by over 600 hundred people since Friday lunch time!
You can watch it now on my business face book page listed above. It looked at ways to think through the construction of a beach scene and then lay down the first layer of watercolour.
Tomorrow I will be demonstrating how to finish off the painting while continuing to incorporate subtle indicators of the construction methods talked about in the first episode.
I look forward to responding to your comments and questions.
We are now adding new content to studio every week. This week we have added a new Tree Lesson and a Talking Art video looking at painting cherry blossom in watercolour. The artwork can be seen below:
