The Expressive Landscape: A Practical Framework for Plein Air & Studio Oil Painting with Graham Webber ROI

Where: Westcott Barton, Middle Marwood, Barnstaple, North Devon EX31 4EF
Contact: enquiries@westcottbarton.co.uk
Join Graham for a painting retreat at the beautiful Westcott Barton estate, where we will immerse ourselves in the rich variety of subjects found both within the grounds and beyond. This retreat will focus on developing your own painting style, working directly from life and in the studio to capture atmosphere, structure and light. Rather than following a rigid formula, you will work within a clear, practical framework designed to give you total creative freedom while keeping your paintings grounded and strong.
We’ll venture further afield with a minibus trip to the dramatic Valley of Rocks. Here, you’ll apply your framework to the striking cliffs, sea views and rocky formations. Please note that this day may involve a short section of steep walking. For those who prefer a gentler pace, you can remain painting at Westcott Barton or use the facilities at the Valley of Rocks, where a café, seating and amenities are available.

At Dedham Hall with Graham Webber ROI
When: 11 September - 18 September 2027
Where: Dedham Hall, Brook Street, Dedham, Colchester, Essex, CO7 6AD
Contact: sarton@dedhamhall.co.uk
On this oil painting course will be focusing on creating paintings with a sense of atmosphere using the local landscape as inspiration. Weather permitting, we will be working outside but also in the studio capturing the essence of the landscape and gathering information and ideas in sketchbooks and in oil. The work we have done will be used to develop into a larger final painting back at the studio. During the course we will use a variety of subjects to discover how composition, tone, colour mixing, perspective and artistic license all come together to create captivating and dynamic paintings.
We will plan to venture to nearby Flatford for further subject matter during the week.
