Loose and Lively Landscapes in Acrylics 2023

Thu 8 August 2023, 10am to 3:30pm £60
This workshop is for adults.

Be prepared to free up and let go! Using bold colours and loose energetic mark-making with big brushes and palette knives we will create lively and dynamic landscape paintings.  We will explore composition, layering, & creating atmosphere through your selection of colours. Add in a bit of spatter and flourishes of oil pastel for that finishing touch!

Lots of step-by-step demos & individual help…. a basic knowledge of acrylics is useful.
