Expressive Landscape Painting Workshop

A fun and informative 1 day workshop in which Shirley Kirkcaldy will be demonstrating her expressive approach to landscape painting, covering various techniques and processes to focus on creating landscape paintings full of layers, texture and depth.

The workshop is suitable for beginners who have limited painting experience as well as improvers looking to adopt a looser approach to their work. The foundations of painting will be covered, including composition, tone and complimentary colour palettes and mark-making, as well as use of additional materials, personalised support and 1:1 feedback.

If sufficient interest, a follow up day will be offered for those keen to take a deeper dive into additional materials, collage, inks and exploring of ideas.

No prior experience of acrylic painting is needed, just a willingness to explore and experiment.

You will be provided with 2 canvas boards to encourage you to work on more than one piece at a time. I would recommend you also bring an additional canvas, board or paper in your preferred size. You will also be required to provide your own paints but supplementary supplies will be available to use. Price also includes use of tools and equipment if needed.

You will also need to bring some reference material in relation to a landscape of your choice, which you could work from.

More information and a full materials list will be sent on confirmation of booking.
