New Artist - 2016__

It is important that I don‘t get bogged down

in describing everything with too much detail.

Some artistic licence can be useful in pushing

a tonal contrast perhaps, that helps to describe

a shape through what is revealed by what is

placed behind it.

I begin to add indications of the doors and
windows and darker shadows of the overhanging
roof. Over the two or so hours that I have been
painting, the texture of paint applied has naturally
formed to create surface interest which I use
to further explore relationships of colour and
movement, pushing and pulling back to realism
by redrawing in paint.

Neil Pinkett teaches a three-day ‘Landscape with

Oils’ course for Newlyn School of Art on the dramatic

coastline around West Cornwall. Dates for this course,

which costs £250 including all materials, are 4th to 6th

April, 13th to 15th June and 8th to 10th August, 2016.

The course is aimed at helping students to

understand how to work outdoors in oils without

losing sight of the fundamentals of painting through

composition, tone and colour. Neil is a master with

the palette knife and this course gives opportunity for

both demonstrations from the artist with palette knife

and brush techniques and lots of hands-on painting

time, out in the dramatic Cornish coastline.
