2 Day Plein Air Workshop with Maria Rose ROI in Stanton
Fri June 11, 2027 @ 10:00 am - Sat June 12, 2027 @ 4:00 pm BST
Paint en plein air with Maria Rose, member of the Royal Institute of Oil painters. Maria will introduce the fundamentals of outdoor ‘plein air’ painting in the charming setting of Stanton Guildhouse and Stanton Village. Maria will help you to simplify the process of working outdoors from life, paint within a shorter space of time, respond quickly and intuitively to changing subject matter and improve your colour theory to create lively and fresh landscape paintings responding directly to nature. Maria will be providing in-depth demos each morning and afternoon and will provide lots of guidance during your painting sessions. We will aim to paint from different locations each morning and afternoon, utilising the garden and grounds of Stanton Guildhouse and Stanton village itself, which is a short walk from the Guildhouse.
This course will best suit intermediate painters with some experience in oils in a studio or outdoor setting, who are looking to gain further experience working outside from life. Maria will be teaching in oils but acrylic painters welcome too.
Expect to be outside in the beautiful grounds at Stanton Guildhouse with its far reaching views from the Cotswold escarpment.
NOTE: There is beautiful onsite self catering accommodation available to book at Stanton Guildhouse – email info@broadwayartsfestival.com to enquire/book.
