Sand, Sea and Sky: Acrylics and Mixed Media Workshop

Description

In this workshop we will be looking at ways of tackling the various elements that make up a coastal painting: water, waves and reflections along with the landscape elements of cliffs, rocks and the transitions between land and sea. We will take our inspiration from Kurt Jackson and create atmospheric layered images incorporating textures and aggregates. There will be lots of demos & step-by-step instruction in this fun and informal workshop.

Heavy watercolour paper (approx. 350gsm) or mountboard / back of sketchpad (painted white if you’re using this) or MDF (painted white).
