'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 Afternoon Landscape Painting Workshop - 'Sunlit Meadow'

Full Afternoon Landscape Painting Workshop ‘Sunlit Meadow’ A 4½ hour immersive landscape painting workshop. Join me for an inspiring afternoon of landscape painting as we capture the warmth and beauty of a sunlit summer meadow filled with wild daisies, cornflowers and glowing evening light. This immersive workshop is inspired by the changing English countryside and focuses on the techniques I use in my own landscape paintings to create atmosphere, depth and luminosity. Working on a 30cm x 25cm board, you’ll learn how to build a landscape using layered acrylic techniques, expressive mark-making, colour harmony and subtle light effects. With a maximum of just five participants, you’ll benefit from plenty of individual guidance and support throughout the session. Suitable for beginners and more experienced painters alike, this workshop offers a relaxed and supportive environment where you can develop new skills while creating your own atmospheric summer landscape to take home. All materials are included, along with tea, coffee, and light refreshments. As this is a continuous 4½-hour session, there won’t be a formal lunch break, but you’re very welcome to bring sandwiches or snacks to eat during the workshop. By the end of the session, you’ll have created your own landscape and gained techniques you can continue to develop in your own work.
