ABOUT ME - JASON SKILL

Jasons Palette

The best watercolour studio palette in the world ?

I designed this palette because of my years of frustration when using the many designs on the market, and I think i’ve succeeded in making a product that meets the real needs of watercolour painters..

Jasons is shortly starting the first of his new live courses on studio…

These will be based on his real-life classes of many years, and will allow you to interract with Jason in a ‘virtual class’, replay any lesson later and even ask questions after the Live, e.g. ask him to (re)cover sections or go into more detail in the next lesson.

Students will also be able to submit their work to Jason during the course and at the end he will hold a final Live session where these are put on screen & discussed

TUMBLING WATER – LIVE

From Monday 07 March 2022

1700-1800 (UK)

6 week course ( ends 11 April )

Painting moving water, tumbling over rocks, is a skill that many painters hope to perfect. Scenes of this kind captivate everyone who visits this kind of landscape, so its little wonder that most artists hope to replicate the beauty of these scenes.

So what are the advantages of learning in this way compared to a ‘real life’ class ?

You’ll have the best seat in the class, with an unobstructed view of every aspect of the demonstration
You can watch the demonstration as many times as you like after the Live is over
You can ask Jason further questions after the Live session is over by using the web chat that Jason will monitor
You can upload photos of your work using the Chat, and gain feedback from Jason and the other members
Beyond the course you can be part of an online comunity of learners sharing ideas, reference material and observations or simply chatting about art.
You have access to a large library of photographs to work from without having to search for or take the images yourself
You can watch our prepared looped-video ‘moving pictures’ of scenes, so you can see the ‘dynamics’ of natural subjects to try and capture.
You can keep all your weekly appointments to watch Jason from anywhere you happen to be, on Mobile devices as well

So why do the course live… when you could watch the recordings* of it at your leisure when the course is over ?

The contents of all the Chat that takes place during a Live Course will be removed/reset when a new course starts, so only those doing the course live will truly gain from the web chat content created in the weeks the course is on.

So how do i get on the Course ?

To take part in the first lesson of any of these Live Courses you will need to first join studio ( or already be a member ).

( * some previous Live courses may be made available on Studio later on )

‘Trees in the wind’

As the title suggests, I painted this picture to reflect the violent but rhythmic movement of foliage and grasses created by strong winds. I was fascinated by how shapes seemed to form and then dissolve in the landscape I observed on Ryton Willows one sharp spring morning. Created later from memory, I let my imagination off the leash allowing myself to explore the use of a wide variety of shapes and colours in this unrestrained gouache. I was pleased with the results, which I felt captured something of the madness of the turbulent twisting I had witnessed.

Size 20×30 cm – sold unframed in card mount
