Paint with Randy Hale in Watercolour in Exmoor and the stunning North
Devon Coast, where you will paint cascading rivers, moorland valleys,
harbours and coastal scenes.
There are many stunning locations including the River Barle and valley, the
harbour town of Lynmouth which was called 'Little Switzerland' by the
Victorians and the villages of Winsford, Withypool and Malmsmead where
there is plenty to sketch and paint.
First and foremost, Randy wants his students to enjoy the painting
process and have fun. By taking a joyful approach, his workshops are
always uplifting and a positive experience for his painters. His
encouragement, along with concise and straight forward explanations of
the process are what help his students achieve immediate, successful
results!
Randy will encourage you to "look hard" at the subject you paint and take
a fresh approach to how you "see" a subject. Filtering detail to properly
assess a shape's value in comparison to the adjacent shapes is essential in
creating depth and the illusion of volume. Knowing what is important and
what to leave out is an important skill to learn and how to achieve glowing
results with a transparent medium are popular topics covered in his
workshops.
These tips are the secret to achieving more confident and dramatic
painting. By capturing the essentials, his style of painting is loose and
impressionistic. Randy's workshops are fun and a great opportunity to add
valuable skillsets to your painting toolbox!
