About the Event

The course will be delivered en plein air (outside) across the Watts Gallery estate.

Led by Artist in Residence Nneka Uzoigwe and working from a live model, this outdoor workshop will explore the relationship between the figure, colour and light, with opportunities to develop your colour mixing skills, study the effects of light on the body and capture atmospheric conditions.

Henry Scott Tuke is recognised today as a master colourist. Working en plein air, he used a dazzling palette to paint his subjects, working not only in oils, but watercolour and pastel too. Tuke was inspired by new artistic techniques from Europe and used his fascination for 'colour tone' to heighten the chromatic effects of light and atmosphere on his subjects.
