A great outdoor creative workshop suitable for all artists with different levels of ability who wish to explore a looser more impressionistic style. Whether you are a beginner, intermediate or advanced in skill level, regular one to one tuition throughout the day will teach you lots of new and exciting techniques for landscape painting.
On this workshop I will show you how to quickly combine Watercolour, Gouacheand soft pastel in a direct response to subject. The expressive and colourful techniques demonstrated, together with gestural mark making, will most certainly inspire you with confidence to have a go yourself with the media you choose to bring.
The initial group demonstration (about 35/40 mins with tuition) shows you how a painting is developed. The Lavendar fields at this special North Yorkshire venue with their far reaching views towards the Vale of York are really inspiriring!
A fabulous and rewarding day 'at Yorkshire Lavender' in the heart of Ryedale, North Yorkshire that every artist enjoys.
A very popular workshop indeed so early booking is highly recommended to secure your place!
12 STUDENTS ONLY to ensure maximum tuition for all.

The spectacular panoramic views overlooking rural Rydedale landscape fields beyond hillsides of purple Lavender are spectacular. Surrounding you are tranquil gardens and spacious views.
