Level: Any

In this workshop, we will explore the work of the Impressionists and apply their principles to create a landscape painting. 
First, we will sketch our composition on the canvas, create a colourful underpainting, then apply the top layer of paint in a loose, vibrant, and dynamic way, inspired by the style of the Impressionists.
Focusing on colour mixing and brushwork, we will aim to capture the subjective, fleeting impression of the scene rather than a precise, detailed representation.

Type of medium used: Acrylic paint or oils.

Materials provided: Landscape images, Tea, Coffee & Biscuits, Expert Tuition, Detailed Demonstrations, 1 to 1 Guidance.
