SUMMARY:2 Day En Plein Air Painting Workshop with Haidee-Jo Summers ROI RSMA
DESCRIPTION:An opportunity to practice plein air painting in oils or acrylics with acclaimed artist Haidee-Jo Summers\, in one of the most exclusive private gardens in Broadway. \nLearn about capturing the essence while plein air painting in the incredible garden setting of Court Farm on the famous Upper High Street in Broadway. \nHaidee-Jo is an internationally renowned plein air painter and member of the Royal Institute of Oil painters and the Royal Society of Marine Artists. She is the author of two books published by Search Press: ‘Vibrant Oils’ and ‘Plein air painting in oils’ \nThis two day workshop is best suited to those with some experience of painting outdoors. Haidee-Jo will be working with oil paints but acrylics can be used if preferred. \nTo find out more about Haidee-Jo visit: www.haideejo.co \nTickets £220  (15 available) \nHaidee-Jo will also be doing a demonstration on the afternoon of Saturday 10th June from 2-4pm at the Lifford Hall in Broadway (150 tickets available) \nTickets go on sale through the website at 10am on 11th March\, and 1 week earlier (4th March) for Benefactors of the festival who qualify for Priority Booking. Note: this event in 2021 sold out in the first hour! \nYou can become a Benefactor for as little as £50 and support our Outreach Projects in doing so\, applications are now open. \nIf you are not a 2023 Benefactor\, please do not purchase a Benefactor ticket as this ticket will be cancelled and an admin fee of £10 charged. \nPlease note: Due to the intense interest in this workshop (and to make it fair for all) we are limiting the number of tickets any person can buy to 2. This applies to benefactors of the festival and members of the general public. If you buy more than 2 they will be refunded and put back up for sale. \n        \n  \nMaterials \nClothing wise think layers and waterproofs with sturdy and comfortable footwear because even on a warm day you can soon feel chilly when sitting or standing still for long periods. Bring a sunhat or cap\, and sunscreen too. \nA small lightweight sketchbook and black or grey marker pen or soft pencil for quick ‘planning’ sketches is a good idea.\nA viewfinder if you have one. \nAn umbrella is useful for sun or rain. \nA lightweight easel\, or an all-in-one system such as an Open Box M\, New Wave u.go or similar pochade box\, together with a sturdy camera tripod to mount it on. Most importantly make sure you  \nhave practiced using it before the workshop\, know how to assemble it and have a method for comfortably carrying it.  \nA stool if you prefer to sit. \nBasic colour palette I use on location;  \nTitanium white\nCadmium lemon yellow or bright yellow lake \nCadmium yellow deep or Indian yellow \nCadmium red\nAlizarin crimson \nKings blue deep\nPhthalo blue lake \nUltramarine blue \nPhthalo green lake or viridian\nTransparent red oxide or burnt sienna\nRaw sienna/raw umber \nBrushes. A range of sizes but mostly flat and filbert shapes\, plus a small round or two in nylon or sable. I particularly like to use Rosemary brushes’ Ivory or Eclipse ranges. \nI have a ten brush long handled set available from Rosemary & Co\, just search Haidee-Jo Summers on their website. \nPainting panels – any well primed boards are fine\, such as MDF panels with several coats of acrylic ‘gesso’ primer. The Michael Harding non absorbent acrylic primer works well. \nMy preference is for an oil primed linen canvas mounted to board\, or you can make similar with a muslin cloth and acrylic primer (see my Instagram story highlight on panel prep) \nSize wise think small and fast\, recommended sizes such as 8” x 10”\, 9” x 12”\, 10” x 10”\, 11” x 14”. \nI suggest pre-tinting the boards beforehand so that they are not stark white\, but more of a light to mid-tone warm grey. A tiny amount of burnt sienna and ultramarine mixed in with plenty of turps and rubbed all over will give you a pleasant light grey which will have a warm or cool bias depending on your mix. \nOr for a faster drying alternative mix acrylic paint colours with your acrylic primer to a suitable tint (you can’t do this if your surface is oil primed of course). \nMy essential equipment list – which all fits in a medium sized rucksack \nPochade box\nLightweight camera tripod\n2 or 4 panels in a small panel carrier\nSmall tubes of oil colour in a zip bag\nPaper towels\nPainting apron\nLeakproof container of low odour solvent and small jar of oil or painting medium\nPalette knife\nBrushes in tube or brush roll \n\n\n\nThe famous private gardens at Court Farm:
