Full Afternoon Landscape Painting Workshop – ‘Poppies, Wild Meadow Light & Summer Colour’

Full Afternoon Landscape Painting Workshop – June
Poppies, Wild Meadow Light & Summer Colour

12.30-5.30pm

A 5 hour immersive landscape painting workshop

Join me in the studio this June for a relaxed and immersive full afternoon landscape painting workshop, where we’ll be creating this atmospheric wild meadow scene, filled with vibrant poppies and delicate summer wildflowers.

In this workshop, we’ll explore a luminous meadow where bright red poppies rise through soft grasses and scattered blooms, set against a hazy, light-filled sky. The focus will be on capturing depth, movement, and that sense of warmth and stillness you get on a summer’s day in the countryside.

Although this is a single afternoon session, the workshop is thoughtfully structured to allow you to work in a focused and immersive way. To enable the painting to be completed within one session, it is created on a 30cm x 27cm x 3mm MDF board — a beautifully responsive and durable surface that works perfectly with layered acrylic techniques and is ideal for framing, which many participants choose to do after the session.

Working with acrylics on board, I’ll guide you step by step through my layered painting process — building an airy background, developing loose, flowing grasses, and adding expressive poppies with confident, gestural marks. We’ll explore how to balance softness with bold accents, allowing the poppies to stand out while maintaining an overall sense of atmosphere and harmony.

This workshop is suitable for all abilities and is designed to be both enjoyable and inspiring, with plenty of one-to-one guidance throughout.

All materials are included, along with tea, coffee, and light refreshments. As this is a continuous five-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.

By the end of the session, you’ll have created your own poppy meadow landscape and gained techniques you can continue to develop in your own work.
