On Tue 28th July popular professional artist, Tim Fisher joined us for another free Arty Class to create Lakeland Farm near Crummock Water ~ a painting using just three colours and a brush.
In this painting worked with a limited palette and a single 3/4” flat brush to produce a Lakeland landscape of a farmhouse surrounded by trees. After a quick introduction to colour mixing, Tim taught us how to paint atmospheric mountains, portray distance and paint trees and bushes.
