Full Afternoon Landscape Painting Workshop – ‘Russet Woodland Light’

Full Afternoon Landscape Painting Workshop – February

A 5 hour immersive landscape painting workshop.

Join me at my studio in Ditchling, East Sussex, for a full afternoon landscape painting workshop in acrylic, inspired by sunlight filtering through autumn woodland.

We’ll paint a leaf-covered path beneath a canopy of golden and copper foliage, exploring how light, colour and shadow create depth and atmosphere. Dark tree trunks, softly receding woodland and rich foreground textures will give us plenty of opportunities to develop a layered, atmospheric painting.

To enable you to complete the painting within the workshop, we’ll be working on a 35cm x 30cm board, allowing you to focus on the key techniques and processes needed to create a finished landscape in a single afternoon.

By the end of the workshop, you’ll have a well-developed landscape painting and a deeper understanding of how to create light-filled, atmospheric countryside scenes using acrylics. Many paintings will be complete by the end of the day, while others may continue to evolve afterwards — just as my own work often does. You’ll leave with the skills, techniques and confidence to further refine and develop your painting at home if you choose.

Suitable for all abilities, this small-group workshop, with no more than 5 participants, offers a relaxed and supportive environment with plenty of individual guidance throughout.

All materials are included, along with tea, coffee, and light refreshments. As this is a continuous 5-hour session, there won’t be a formal lunch break, but you’re very welcome to bring sandwiches or snacks to eat during the workshop.
