Meet at Jubilee Clock Tower
Weymouth DT4 7BE
(2- minute walk from Weymouth Train Station)
An interesting and fun plein air workshop exploring Weymouth beach ...
The idea is to try a few ways of working that Michael finds helpful to sketching accurately but loosely in the landscape - and use the seaside, the people, as components in a few colour studies on card and board.
In the morning Michael will do two short demos. Then students will make quick sketches, trying a few views before deciding on a composition they want to paint in the afternoon. They may want to paint the beach or the houses facing the beach - Weymouth has a lot of character. Michael will help everyone set up and go round 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.
