'It
was the painter Monet, so famous for his use of colour, who said that autumn
was the “great deceiver”. The colour of the season makes one believe, from the
glow - that all is warm, when just around the corner lies winter, and
within the trees is the chill of autumn. But, never mind. October and November
with mist, night chill and vibrant colour is a fitting tribute to the end of
the growing season and a time to celebrate that in paint.
For
me it is far and away the season that excites me the most. The autumn workshop
at Scampston Walled Garden is the one that I have looked forward to the most. I
want to bring together a number of techniques and ideas to demonstrate how to
paint woodland when the trees are at their most exciting.
How
do you form the complex shapes of trees? How do show light and shade, the
depth of a woodland canopy and leaf litter on the ground? Above all, how do
you use colour?'
