Lewis has built a reputation as one of central England’s foremost artists, whose focus lies in the physical and emotional impact of the landscape on the senses. He is currently working with Chatsworth House on a year long project to make a body of work in response to the many varied aspects of the estate.
In this course students will be drawing and painting direct from the landscape. Lewis will focus on generating an open attitude towards your work rather than any specific technique. You don’t have to continue working in this style, but everything different that you try can be incorporated and added to your own style of painting and drawing.
Energy and a sense of freedom is what Lewis is after, allowing the spontaneity of the marks to be interesting in their own right. He wants students to achieve a collection of exciting, vigorous drawings that try to capture the atmosphere and become more than a representation of the place. This will lead to a collection of sketches that can be used to inform the paintings.
