'Meadow Alchemy' 3½ Hour Painting Workshop

An immersive and inspiring workshop where you’ll learn the expressive techniques I use in my own painting practice. Process-led: paint rolling, dripping & spattering with sculpted impasto flowers ‘Meadow Alchemy’ explores a process-led approach to creating a contemporary wildflower landscape using acrylics on board. We’ll start by setting the scene and applying a soft gradient background. From there, we’ll add movement and energy with loose layers of wild grasses and stems, using different techniques such as paint rolling, dripping, and playful paint spattering. In just 3½ hours, you’ll learn the techniques and materials I use in my own work to create a richly textured landscape painting of your own. Working with acrylics on board, you’ll be guided step by step to create your own piece to take home and be proud of, with the understanding and confidence to keep refining it further if you wish. Your painting will be created on a 25cm x 25cm 3mm MDF board; a beautifully responsive and durable surface that works perfectly with layered acrylic techniques and is ideal for framing, which many participants choose to do after the session. Run from the comfort of my Studio in Ditchling, in a supportive and nurturing environment with an intimate group of up to six people, allowing one to one tuition. Suitable for all artistic abilities, even if you’re a complete novice, the methods we’ll be using are easy to learn and apply. The cost is £60 per person, including quality artists’...

Full Day Landscape Painting Workshop - August

Full Day Landscape Painting Workshop – August ‘Golden Lake Reflections’ 10-5pm Join me for a full day of immersive landscape painting as we capture the beauty of a glowing sunset reflected across still water. Inspired by the warmth and atmosphere of the summer countryside, this workshop explores the techniques I use in my own landscape paintings to create depth, light and a strong sense of place. Working on a 42cm x 36cm board, you’ll learn how to build a larger, more developed landscape using layered acrylic techniques, expressive mark-making and carefully balanced colour. Throughout the day, I’ll guide you through the process of creating a landscape filled with glowing reflections, distant trees, expansive skies and luminous evening light. We’ll explore how to create depth, atmosphere and natural texture while developing a painting that feels both dramatic and tranquil. The larger board size and full-day format allow us to work on a more ambitious composition than is possible in the afternoon workshops, giving you the opportunity to explore additional detail, richer layers and a greater sense of scale whilst still completing a finished painting by the end of the session. With a maximum of five participants, you’ll benefit from plenty of individual guidance and support throughout the day. Suitable for beginners and more experienced painters alike, this workshop offers a friendly and inspiring studio environment where you can develop new skills while creating your own...

September Seasonal Landscape Painting Course - Tuesday Mornings

September Seasonal Landscape Painting Course – Light Through the Trees Join me for this immersive 10-hour landscape painting course and learn how to create an atmospheric countryside scene filled with light, depth and mood. Working from a beautiful late-summer landscape, we’ll explore how sunlight filters through trees, illuminates grasses and creates a sense of space across the landscape. Inspired by the changing seasons and the warm, golden light of early autumn, this composition offers the perfect opportunity to develop a more expressive and confident approach to landscape painting. Working in acrylics on 45cm × 38cm MDF board, you’ll be guided step by step through the process I use in my own paintings to build atmosphere, depth and light. Held over four consecutive weeks, this course allows time to work thoughtfully, building layers and refining your composition to create a beautifully light-filled spring landscape. By the end of the course, you’ll have a substantial landscape painting and a deeper understanding of how to create light-filled, atmospheric countryside scenes. As with my own work, you may choose to continue refining and developing your painting at home using the techniques and knowledge gained during the course. This course is suitable for both developing painters and those looking to build confidence in landscape painting.

Working from a beautiful countryside scene bathed in golden light, you’ll learn how to create a loose, atmospheric landscape using the expressive acrylic techniques I use in my own work.

This workshop focuses on capturing mood, light and depth through expressive acrylic techniques that reflect my own studio practice.

Throughout the day, I’ll guide you through the techniques I use to create luminous skies, subtle colour transitions, soft mist effects and natural-looking grasses and wildflowers. We’ll explore how to balance detail with freedom, allowing the painting to feel both realistic and painterly. Suitable for all abilities, this workshop is taught in a relaxed, supportive studio environment with plenty of individual guidance throughout the day. By the end of the workshop, you’ll have a well-developed landscape painting and a deeper understanding of how to create light-filled, atmospheric countryside scenes using acrylics.
