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.

Want to know how to paint like Turner?

‘Turners watercolour wonders – his tricks and techniques with watercolour’ starts January the 8th at Newcastle Arts Centre. A few places are still available [16:12:12]
Turner was an innovator. His approach to handling watercolour was radically different from many of his contemporaries. Far from being a watercolour purist, he often used unconventional materials and constantly re-invented his approach to watercolour painting. For those who love this artist work and have some experience with watercolour, this course will offer an practical eye opening glimpse into the great masters working methods.
