Book Art Class

Discover how to paint in an interpretive and expressive manner

Interpreting the landscape and coast in an expressive, impressionistic way.

10 - 4pm ( Arrive 9.45 am) A one day painting workshop for a maximum of six artists. Limited spaces. Booking early is advised.

Explore discovering your own artistic voice through mark making, self expression and painting in response to the landscape around us. Embracing painting in a confident and loose manner, with a positive view on process, as well as the end result.

Beginners to intermediate. 6 people maximum.

This course encourages a playful, visceral and energetic approach to landscape and coastal painting in acrylic and mixed media, exploring how to create dynamic, evocative work based around the natural world and our own response to it.

Informal, fun and enjoyable, the day encourages creative flow and is an introduction to painting expressive land and seascapes, based loosely around how I create my own artwork.

In the studio during the morning, we will experiment, attempting to free ourselves from expectation and just enjoying the creative process. In the afternoon we will create a finished piece of work on canvas .

If the weather is fine, we can walk and sketch en plein air in the beautiful grounds of the manor.

A main piece of artwork can be created from the beauty of the landscape here should you wish, or if the weather is inclement, I will also provide three paintings as source material should you wish to use one of those as inspiration to create your own version. Or, bring a photo of a landscape that inspires you as subject matter if that suits you best.

An emphasis on well-being is important, with no expectation other than to find the happiest, most expressive, confident artist within all of us . The landscape here has embraced healing for many years. Its a magical and restorative place to be, which can only help in the creative process.

10am -4pm with 30 minutes for lunch. (Bring your own) Tea, coffee and biscuits provided.
