Painterly Wildflower

This workshop focuses on creating a soft, painterly wildflower landscape using acrylics on board.

You’ll begin by building a gentle, atmospheric background with sponged layers of colour, before developing flowing grasses, stems and seed heads using expressive brushwork to create movement, rhythm and structure across the painting.

Textured impasto flowers form the focal points and are applied using spatulas, adding sculptural depth and richness to the surface. Painted stems and layered colour sit around these bold floral forms, with subtle metallic accents bringing light and detail to the composition. The emphasis in this workshop is on brush-led mark-making to describe the meadow, resulting in a contemporary wildflower painting with energy, flow and painterly expression.

This workshop is suitable for all artistic abilities, even if you’re a complete novice, the methods we’ll be using are easy to learn and apply.

PLEASE NOTE:
The images shown across the Morning Workshops, illustrate examples of paintings created using the same techniques and process taught during the sessions, but in different colour palettes. The specific colours used on the day may vary, as a selected palette is chosen for each workshop. However, alternative colour options can often be accommodated, including palettes shown in the example images. If you have a preferred colour palette, please mention this in the ‘Additional Information’ section when booking and I will take this into consideration, where possible.
