Victoria Gamberoni

Painting Landscape
June 5th - 14th 2007 
 
The workshop will explore composition, colour, and tone working both in the studio and outside. At each session we will examine techniques of drawing and painting landscape and go on to develop aspects of the techniques used. The main focus will be on painting in watercolour but those who wish to paint in oils will be catered for.
Ever since it’s flowering in the late 18^th and the early 19^th century landscape painting has been one of the most popular of British art forms. Artists such as Constable, Turner, Dewint, Cox and Varley created works which anticipated Impressionism in the use of light, colour, and form in landscape painting, and have inspired artists throughout the years.

Victoria Gamberoni lives and paints in the West Country.  She is a member of the Bath Society of Artists and the Armed Forces Art Society and her work is regularly shown at their annual exhibitions.

She has exhibited at galleries throughout the United Kingdom as well as having one person exhibitions in London and Wiltshire.  Her paintings have been exhibited at The Royal West of England Academy, Merriscourt Gallery, Wykeham Gallery, the Wine Street Gallery, Six Chapel Row, Tha workshop Wales, and the Mall Gallery; she shows regularly at the Oexman exhibition.

She teaches Water Colour and Oil painting and has run painting courses in England, France and Italy.

In recent years Victoria has made painting trips to the United States, Mexico, India, and North Africa and, annually, to Europe.  Her recent work focuses on people in the workplace and within the city; her figurative work has moved towards semi abstraction while retaining the traditional English strengths of line and composition.
