Colour and Light in the Landscape 2026

Online Course Time: August 5^th - 7^th  ( Wednesday - Friday ) 10am - 12:30pm each day.

This 3 day live online course is suitable for any students who have attended the two day Colour and Light courses that Emily and Katie have run from the Truleigh Centre on the South Downs either in 2025 or 2026 AND for anyone who has purchased the pre-recorded films of ‘Colour and Light in the Landscape’. The freshness, freedom and immediacy of the studies made in situ are qualities that are often wished for in sustained and finished paintings. The studies are not there to be copied but to be used as inspiration and triggers for new work. This course is all about unpacking and using the content in these studies to make new painted studies and work towards finished paintings. The colours, marks, layers and memories are material to play and invent with. They have become your landscape for you to walk through and explore. They are reminders of the sensations, the light, the weather and the feelings of being out on the hill.

Emily and Katie will demonstrate and provide processes that will enable you to explore the possibilities in the studies to make new work using either acrylics or oils on canvas, board or paper. Experimentation with paint, tools and mark making will help everyone find the necessary language to make powerful and exciting paintings.
