In this exciting online Landscape painting course, artist Tom Voyce will teach you how to capture the essence of landscapes through painting. Over five weeks, the course will focus on exploring how to create a sense of place in the depicted landscape, through composition, colour mixing, light and tone.

Each week we will explore different themes and topics, such as:
– Capturing composition
– Colour mixing and application techniques
– Underpainting
– Working across several images at once, in stages
– Light and tone

This course is suitable for all levels and will encourage you to paint landscapes through ‘abstract realism’ whilst refining your skills on painting techniques and processes.

This course is suitable for all levels. Students can move at their own pace depending on their experience, with as much support from the Tutor as they wish.

  • Beginner

    Choose a Beginners course if you are looking for a broad introduction to the medium you are studying. Students spend time learning the very basics of the taught medium, for example, how to mix colours, use different tools, set up an easel. Our Beginner courses are suitable for students with no prior experience, they tend to follow a more structured path than our other courses, ensuring each student receives the guidance they need from the tutor.

  • Beginner +

    Choose a Beginner + course if you are looking to hone your skills, focus on a specific subject area and build your confidence. These courses are suitable for those with some basic skills in and knowledge of the taught medium, but still follow a structured path with guidance from the tutor.

  • Intermediate

    Our Intermediate courses are suitable for students who have considerable prior knowledge of the taught medium or have completed a Beginners/Beginners + course with the Art Academy.

    These courses tend to be less structured and instead are tailored to the classes’ needs and the direction they want to advance in. Choose an Intermediate course if you are looking to improve your skills and have more critical discussions around the work you produce.

  • Advanced

    Choose our Advanced courses if you have considerable knowledge in the taught medium. You are expected to be able to work independently and have critical discussions around your work.

     Our Advanced courses include our Masterclasses.

All attendees must be aged 18 or over.

TOM VOYCE

Tom Voyce is an established UK painter with international exposure. His subject matter comprises a variety of different themes such as cityscapes, landscapes, interiors, still life and semi abstract studies.

Voyce’s compositions consistently demonstrate an interest in the formal elements of composition: structure, perspective, shape and light. His paintings are accounts of fleeting moments within a landscape; the fall of light on a building, or the shadows cast by a motorway flyover. The strength in these pieces lies not in their faithful depiction of a landscape, but in their suggestion of a sense of place, of being present within a particular space at a particular moment.
