Paint historic Wells, Somerset with
Steve Hall in Watercolour. The holiday
is based at The Swan Hotel which
faces the cathedral as it looks out onto
Cathedral Green and is just a walk
away from some amazing painting
subjects including the architecture of
the Cathderal & Bishop's Palace.
There is also the more modest but
equally paintable buildings in Vicar's
Close and around the Green.
We will also paint the moat, the
grounds and the 'Wells' or Lakes in
Bishop's Palace as well as nearby
countryside.
Steve will use his friendly and relaxed
approach to help you improve your
watercolour painting and create those
simple yet dynamic images that he
admires in the works of Edward Seago
and Edward Wesson.
There will be the opportunity for you
to complete two pictures a day under
Steve's careful guidance. He will work
alongside you helping you to achieve
your goals. Steve's style is one of
simplicity, yet based on observation of
shapes and tonal values.
His objective will be to encourage you
to capture the scene before you with
as little fuss as possible but with
awareness of the important shapes
and forms that describe the view. By
following his advice your work will take
on a more dynamic appearance leading
to that 'wow' factor that we all seek in
our painting.
