Enjoy a full day of sketching and landscape painting in a relaxed setting with local artist Jeanne Mundy. This workshop is suitable for beginners as well as those looking to loosen up their approach and try some more abstract approaches.
Rather than focusing on precise detail, the aim will be to help you to use a more expressive and creative approach.
Morning session
The day begins with sketching and observation around Ripley. Weather permitting, the group will head out into the village with sketchbooks to take inspiration from the surrounding views.
The focus will be on composition and what makes a landscape visually interesting. You will explore how selecting and abstracting sections of a scene can open up new and unexpected possibilities.
Afternoon session
In the afternoon, you will return to the workshop room to develop your ideas into a finished acrylic painting, guided by Jeanne.
There will be demonstrations throughout the day, showcasing a range of techniques and tools, including brushes, palette knives and even everyday items such as old credit cards, highlighting the versatility of acrylic paint.
