2010 Workshops with Will McCarthy

Inspire your imagination and challenge your limits. In each of these workshops, Will McCarthy engages us by sharing his techniques which enable him to paint from his imagination and achieve an atmospheric style that captures the essential beauty and emotion of the landscape.

"I work on wood board, paper and canvas using several layers of gesso before priming the surface with cadmium red base, a quick sketch using charcoal is used to lay out the design then the paint is applied. I work in layers using thinned down oil color, building on these layers with glazing techniques the colors are adjusted and brought up to completion before final coats of varnish are applied. Light has come to play an important part, and when I look back over this body of work, I feel it speaks about spiritual places, places that contain a quiet inner light, radiating an ethereal whisper, the places we see every day." - William McCarthy
