The ‘Abstract Landscapes’ painting workshop
A day painting, exploring ideas, and loosening up your painting style, to embrace a more abstract interpretation of the landscape. We will be developing techniques to help you simplify your composition and more successfully utilise colour and tone to create harmony in your paintings.
We will be painting with a limited palette of acrylics and exploring the use of collage, pastes and gels. Great for all abilities. An exciting and challenging day with a small group of artists.
Workshops begin with a practical demonstration along with heaps of tuition and enthusiasm from professional artist Alison Orchard.
With limited numbers, workshops get booked quickly, so join Alison’s mailing list at www.alisonorchard.com or email her info@alisonorchard.com for booking details.
