Join NEAC member Michael Weller for a day of outdoor painting in and around Weymouth Harbour.
Using the harbour, boats and people as components, students will make a few colour studies and explore some ways of working that Michael finds helpful to sketching accurately but loosely.
In the morning Michael will do two short demos on shape and colour. Students may like to paint the boats on the water or the buildings and cafes. They will sketch a few views before deciding on a composition to paint in the afternoon. It doesn’t have to be boats! The harbour is a working harbour and it’s wonderful for artists.
Michael will help everyone set up and talk to the students one-to-one throughout the day. It will be interesting and fun.
Michael Weller studied librarianship in Manchester and realised early on he didn’t want to be a librarian. Life-drawing cheered him up. Later he did a degree in Fine Art and studied portrait-painting at Lavender Hill Studios and drawing and painting with the New English Art Club. In 2015 he won the Le Clerc Fowle Medal for a group of outstanding paintings at the Royal Institute of Oil Painters’ annual exhibition, and the Winsor & Newton Award for a painting at the New English Art Club annual exhibition.
