Summary:

Join award-winning contemporary landscape painter Jade Stout for a relaxed but focused four-week course exploring landscape through drawing, print, paper and paint. Each session builds skills while remaining standalone, so you can choose to join for one afternoon or commit to the full creative journey. Jade will guide you through observation, mark, print, colour, collage, composition, and building depth without feeling intimidated. This is not a technical course, but an immersive exploration of landscape through layered processes. You can expect a supportive small-group environment, clear demonstrations and practical techniques, encouragement to develop your own visual language and a focus on process as much as outcome. This course is ideal for anyone who feels drawn to landscape and wants to explore it in a deeper, more experimental way.

Focus of this week’s session:

Landscape sketching and mono printing (seeing like an artist by translating landscape into line, tone and expressive mark)

Structure of the afternoon:

Welcome & context (20 mins): introduction to Jade and her practice / discussion on what makes a landscape compelling (horizon line, scale, atmosphere, weather, light) / looking at examples (historical and examples of Jade’s work)
Sketching exercises (60 mins): warm-up (continuous line drawing) / tonal studies (3-value landscape) / negative drawing space / working from photos or memory
Introduction to mono printing (40 mins): inking the plate / taking the print / ghost prints
Print and drawing exploration (60 mins): exploring overdrawing and enhancing of mono prints

Attendees:

Please wear old clothes, bring an apron (or you can borrow one of Studio 164’s) and any landscape photographs you like – but it’s not essential as you can use one of Jade’s photos as a reference either.

Provided by Jade Stout:

Mono plates, printing ink, pens & pencils, crayons, ink, paper, range of reference landscape images (photographs, sketches, photocopies/prints), and landscape books

Outcome:

Landscape sketch studies, mono prints and confidence in simplifying landscape forms

About your tutor

Jade Stout is a Scottish landscape artist whose work explores horizon lines, coastal memory and the emotional pull of place. Born in Orkney, but living in Stenhousemuir, her practice is rooted in a deep connection to sky, sea and shifting light. Educated at Edinburgh College of Art, where she studied at both undergraduate and postgraduate level, Jade works across painting, printmaking and paper-based processes. Her approach is layered and intuitive, building surfaces through mark-making, texture and tonal shifts. Rather than aiming for literal representation, Jade’s work focuses on atmosphere: the feeling of standing in a landscape rather than just observing. Subtle colour palettes, softened edges and strong horizon lines create a sense of calm, depth and reflection. View some of Jade’s work below.
