LANDSCAPE PAINTING (ACRYLICS)
If you have an interest in landscape painting there's no better area than Braemar and no better teacher than Colin Robertson. There are still a couple of spaces left in his acrylic classes on Friday 19th and Saturday 20th October so don't miss this opportunity to learn from a master. Here's a few words from Colin himself.

'I have painted
in and around Braemar for the last 20 years I have been gorged on by tics, driven
to madness by the midge, thigh deep in the snow covered hills of glen lui and at
times I have been so wet that swimming in the Dee would have seemed a dryer
option. However, I have never had sun stroke, yet, so what I have saved on
sunscreen I have spent on midge repellent .
So
painting out doors has to be done in three hour slots. Well there is the first
problem....what you don’t finish
on day one you have to complete the following day and there is the second
problem. The weather in Scotland is not kind to dithering painters like myself
unlike the Meditereanean..So we have to use the tools we can to help create the
images we like to make. The camera and the sketch book are two of the most
helpful tools to get the job done.The camera records the information and the
sketch book trains the eye and the hand. The memory is also an excellent tool I
am told but alas…………'
