Come and join me for a fun and inspirational day of learning how to create a beautiful forest painting!!
Learn and apply the methods and techniques that I use in my work as a professional artist and create your own masterpiece!
I’ve always been passionate about trees and forests, and this workshop is all about capturing the feeling of walking through a magical sunlit woodland. Even if you’re a complete beginner, the techniques we’ll use are simple, enjoyable, and easy to learn.
Working with acrylics on board, we’ll build up layers of colour and texture to create depth and atmosphere. You’ll experiment with a variety of tools: silicone spatulas, credit cards, applicator bottles, rigger brushes, and even nails for scratching into the surface—to add detail and character to your forest scene. To finish, we’ll use shimmering metallic rubs in gold and silver for that final touch of woodland magic.
Your painting will be created on a 40cm x 40cm 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.
As this is a full-day workshop, please bring your own lunch to enjoy during the break. Light refreshments will be provided throughout the day, including hot and cold drinks, along with biscuits and croissants.
