Speed Landscape Drawing and Painting

Sunday 22 September
Moseley, Birmingham - 10am - 2 Hours
Sadiyah Begum
The focus of this two-hour structured session is "speed" and "form", i.e. capturing the essence of a subject. You will be guided to complete some "warm-up" colour and drawing exercises and prepared for doing ink and watercolour-based painting in the session. You will learn how to quickly sketch and capture multiple subjects in the garden with ink and wash technique. You will be advised to keep things rather loose and time your drawing/painting. You will have a chance to meet and greet like-minded people, choose your own subjects in the garden and be guided to complete the exercises, and artwork and have some takeaway homework with the learned technique. All levels and experiences are welcome.

Title or Location: Equestria
The painting was a gift for my SIL who has always owned, ridden and tended horses. Following a nasty accident and the death of her last beloved horse, she decided to retire from her lifelong hobby. I had the frame already and as I took out the backing, decided to paint straight onto the hardboard as it was such a great colour!

As a life long fan of the Stones I was saddened when Charlie Watts passed. The Chemistry of the band has always fascinated me with 2 prima Donna's fronting the band Charlie provided the perfect chemistry in that he was so laid back. This painting was my tribute to him. It's in oils 55 x 65 cm.

Title or Location: Thoughtful friend
This is a painting from a photograph of a good friend who was a great support in a very difficult period of my life. Although we now live in different continents she has supported my art journey for the last 15months and I wanted to bless her by painting her. She was thrilled with the painting and was happy to see a resemblance although I somehow managed to make her look around 12! This is my 7th attempt at a portrait, in acrylic on watercolour paper, A4 size. It took me 5 hours to paint & I

Title or Location: Hafryn in February
In 2021 I started to draw and paint a little. In February we went for a walk in a beautiful part of Wales called Hafryn near Llanbrinmair. Despite being winter I was inspired by some photographs taken at the time and tried my hand at an ink drawing. It is quite small, roughly 16 cm x 26 cm.

Title or Location: Charlie Fox
In this painting I wanted to convey the intensity of the fox's stare - that something has caught his eye and he is standing perfectly still watching it! I am always intrigued with how light hits a subject - this is why I love using oil paints as you can get such a depth of colour (I layer up the colours) and then the last few brushstrokes are the highlights and that is when the magic happens!

This is Lucy, one of our favorite family dogs. She is the sweetest pooch and loves to ride in the car, windows opened. She is in her glory as her ears catch the wind and almost smiles. I tried to capture her wonderful nature in this watercolor painting. I used very heavy pigment to give detail to her fur. I so love the many styles watercolor allows you to create. It is one of my favorite paintings because, I Love Lucy:)

Title or Location: Adventure Awaits
This scene is from an early morning boat ride in New Hampshire - we had been here a couple of times over the last few years. It was so quiet and the water so still . The early morning fog had not lifted and people were still not stirring. I snapped a photo when I saw this scene with the colorful leaves framing the waiting boats. I knew I would paint this one day. It?s a 24 x 30 gallery wrapped oil painting. It can be seen at the Elizabethan Gallery.
