Acrylic Impressionist Painting Workshop

This workshop will run on Friday 28th March from 1pm – 3.30 pm It will be £35 for the session. Materials will be provided, but if you have your own tabletop easel or your own brushes that you like to use, then please bring them along.
 
During this workshop, we will be using the medium of acrylics. I will be showing how to mix and blend the colours, how to add light and shade, and guidance on the ideal brush to use. We will be creating an impressionist painting using the medium of acrylics, thus allowing the artist to create their style and interpretation of the landscape.
 
In this workshop, we will be studying the sky looking at clouds and a sunset as well as incorporating the foreground in the landscape.
This workshop is ideal for beginners or for those wishing to brush up on their painting skills. You will be able to take home the painting that you have produced on a canvas.

Painting is not just about creating art; it’s a therapeutic journey that allows you to unwind, destress, and tap into the soothing rhythm of colours and forms. Connect with fellow beginners who share a similar passion.

Step-by-step guidance is crafted for those who have never held a brush.
You will discover the joy of expressing yourself through each stroke.
Throughout the day you will learn the basics of colour mixing, brush techniques, and composition in a supportive environment.
