Class Description
Step into a world of bold colour in this exciting two-session online painting workshop. Explore the beauty of trees and landscapes not just as they appear, but as they feel.

In this workshop, you'll learn to break free from traditional colour palettes and embrace expressive brushstrokes to create powerful landscapes. We’ll cover foundational techniques for building a strong composition using light and shadow to create depth. Then, we'll dive into the heart of using bold, imaginary colour to capture the energy of your personality and the essence of the natural world.

This workshop is perfect for all levels, whether you’re a beginner looking to experiment with colour or an experienced painter seeking to loosen up and infuse your work with new energy.

Let's create together and focus on painting what we love!

What you will learn:
• How to create dynamic compositions.
• Foundations of colour theory with a focus on non-local colour.
• Techniques for creating mood and emotion with colour.
• Tips for working with brushes and tools expressively.
