Paul Lewin is a highly respected coastal painter and has a unique approach to painting: building up layers of watercolour in bold colours and tones and using mixed media or collage to create a unique sense of dynamism and place.
This course enables students to explore some of the most dramatic coves and cliff tops of West Cornwall's famous coastline with lots of tuition on composition, colour, tone, depiction of water and the unusual tools and techniques Paul has built up in his working practice over the years.
This course will primarily be outdoors, with some time back in the studio at Newlyn School of Art to work up sketches into further paintings.
