Landscape 2 - A Travel Sketchbook Tutor Alan Dedman BA, RAS, PGCE
Course overview
Landscape Part 2 considers the challenges facing the artist who wishes to paint landscapes on holiday. It can be used as a follow on from Landscape 1, or as a stand alone course.The course covers a wide range of issues from the equipment you need to take with you to how to handle painting out of doors.
The landscape artist will find that other countries require different handling and techniques due to the changes in the light and atmosphere you find there. The course uses examples of Linda's work from around the UK and France to illustrate how to adjust your technique to capture these differences. Linda hopes to develop the course further as she travels more with her sketchbook!
The course covers handling mixed media to create atmosphere and how to use your sketchbook and camera to capture images which can be worked up into paintings on your return home.
Critiques
If you have scanning / photography facilities, students are able to upload their artwork to the Artwork Submission Area on our website. Each student is given a unique username and password on enrolment for their own private section in this area. Students can upload their artwork to this area for the tutor to collect and critique. The tutor will then upload feedback for the student to download or read.
Critiques via Regular Mail
If you do not have any facilities to upload your artwork, you can send your work in the normal way to the tutors centre and receive your artwork back with your critique.
Support
All our courses are written to be complete in themselves. However we realise that students may appreciate being able to get clarification about various things as they work through their programme as well wanting reassurance that they are putting techniques into practice effectively. The Administration Centre is available seven days a week and the Course Artist provides the technical support to deal with relevant queries.
Most courses have their own dedicated Tutor. The Tutor keeps the course up to date and relevant to today's students. They are available to the individual student for advice and encouragement. Each course has regular exercises and assignments that are constructed in such a way as to give the student the opportunity to practice the techniques learnt on the course and to test themselves as they go along. The student is encouraged to submit the assignment work to the college for the tutor to critique. The student's work will be returned together with the tutorss personal critique. On many courses the assignment work may be suitable for inclusion in a student's Portfolio of Work that could be very useful later. The college will use the assignments submitted as the basis for any award of a Diploma or Certificate.
