I've launched a new series of combination workshops called Painting the Pembrokeshire Coast featuring a mix of plein air and studio sessions.
Book the 2-day workshop in the studio, and you can choose whether to add the optional 1-day plein air session that takes place the day before.
The next workshop starts at the beginning of August and will give you the skills to simplify coastal elements and translate what you see into strong dynamic paintings.
We'll combine some work outdoors on the optional plein air day with work in the studio developing paintings.
BOOK AUGUST WORKSHOP: Painting the Pembrokeshire Coast
WHAT TO EXPECT
An exciting 'combination' Workshop!:
1st day 'en plein air' out on the fabulous Pembrokeshire coast, gathering reference material and making sketches and painting studies. (PLEASE NOTE: This Friday outdoor session is an optional addition to the 2 studio days on Sat & Sun.)
Followed by...
2 days in the studio using these reference materials to create a finished painting, or two!
We'll combine some work outdoors on the optional 'plein air' day with work in the studio developing paintings. Clear instruction with demos, along with practical exercises and learning through playful experimentation, using acrylic paint (and other optional materials). This is a fun 2 or 3 day workshop to help you interpret the coastal landscape without getting too bogged down in detail.
