Expressive Landscapes in Oils Using a Palette Knife (One Day Workshop)

Join the overall winner of the Ilminster Open to explore using oils to create lively and expressive landscapes through mark making. In this course Annie will focus on how to use different marks to suggest different aspects of the landscape.

Over the course of the day you will learn how to start from an image to abstract key elements and add depth to your compositions resulting in your own unique response to the landscape. Annie’s approach is to encourage experimentation; mark making and play to push the boundaries of your work and give you confidence in making a start on new work.

Annie will demonstrate her approach to oil painting using palette knives, rags, sticks and other materials and share many hard-won lessons on composition and technique. Annie is an experienced tutor and will give plenty of hands-on help and discussion time. So, ​whether you are a complete beginner or an artist looking for a different challenge you are very welcome.
