Winter is the perfect time to slow down, take a fresh look at the landscape and rediscover the pleasure of painting it. Whether you're new to landscapes or looking to develop your skills further, this workshop offers you the opportunity to pause, look a little closer, and discover new ways of interpreting the world around you.
Together we’ll break down the landscape into its main elements - sky, land, trees, foliage and water. Exploring colour, composition, texture and expressive mark making along the way.
We’ll use sketchbooks as your place to play, experiment and build confidence, allowing ideas to develop naturally before moving towards a finish piece.
Suitable for all abilities, this course offers an inspiring and supportive learning experience to help you develop your skills and knowledge.
