Together, you’ll look at their paintings, lives, artistic visions, and the techniques they used to create such powerful atmospheres.Rather than simply learning how to represent a landscape, we'll explore how to create a painting that evokes a feeling — the stillness of a winter morning, the glow of fading light, misty landscapes, deep shadows, and the subtle colours of the season.️You’ll have the opportunity to experiment with these ideas in your own painting, developing your understanding of light, colour, atmosphere, and mood, with Fernando offering guidance and support throughout the session.Come and celebrate the quiet poetry of winter through painting.The workshop will take place in the beautiful countryside setting of Class Creative Studios, near Sherborne, Dorset — a peaceful and inspiring place to spend a winter's day creating.Cosy Winter Studio ExperienceAs you paint, enjoy the warmth of our cosy studio fire and settle in with a hot drink — the perfect accompaniment to a winter's day of painting.‍About Fernando VelázquezFernando Velázquez is an experienced artist and teacher with a long international exhibiting career in the UK and around the world.
