Class 1: The details of landscape: Capri
Saturday 11 January, 10am - 1pm
During his travels, Frederic Leighton often drew and painted directly from nature outside with his easel or pochade box. Inspired by his drawings and especially Study of a Lemon Tree, we will look at his drawing techniques and work from branches from the garden at Leighton House. The drawings are carefully observed and highly rendered.
Class 2: The composition of landscape
Saturday 8 February, 10am - 1pm
Always a draughtsman, Leighton’s landscapes are often compositionally innovative - he avoided popular viewpoints and liked experimented with depth. We will look at the principles of composition and consider the format of canvas and areas of focus in a scene.
Class 3: The structure of landscape: Vistas
Saturday 8 March, 10am - 1pm
This class will explore the more sculptural element of Leighton’s landscapes, the interaction between rock formations and seemingly insignificant buildings.
Class 4: The colour of landscape
Saturday 12 April, 10am - 1pm
Colour has a vital role in landscape painting, with palettes dictating the mood and atmosphere of a work. In this class, participants will not only learn the basics of colour theory but also how Frederic Leighton favoured certain colour schemes and his view on colour relationships.
Class 5: The architecture of landscape
Saturday 10 May, 10am - 1pm
This class will study Frederic Leighton’s cityscapes, in connection to the section in the exhibition exploring ‘Avoiding the obvious’ (The Verey Exhibition Gallery). Offering a different challenge to the artist, these architectural scenes help develop a sense of space, form, and light.
Class 6: The atmosphere of landscape: Colour harmony
Saturday 14 June, 10am - 1pm
This class will look at the colour harmony across Frederic Leighton’s landscape painting, from bright blue skies, lush green gardens and rocky grey mountains. We will discuss how to use harmonies in our own personal work, and the benefit and atmosphere they brings.
