During the workshop, you will be taught by local artist Susan McMillan, who will guide you through the process of creating your painting

Susan McMillen trained in Contemporary Art Practice in the city of Glasgow. She has exhibited in Glasgow, Dundee and many local venues. Her most recent exhibition was a group exhibition at Langloch Farm (CCI) as part of the Little Biggar Arts festival. Susan also works as an art tutor and runs local art groups. Her work is varied but her main influence is nature. She is a keen En Plein Air painter and many of her artworks reflect her love of the outdoors.

Susan works with a variety of mediums to create her expressive semi-abstract landscapes.

During this workshop Susan will share her working process and help you to create your own semi-abstract painting in mixed media,

Participants will explore mark making and expressive drawing. Using flowers from the CCI gardens they will then introduce texture in their painting using a variety of mixed media.

This workshop is suitable for all levels from beginner to advanced and all materials will be supplied. NB: Please wear suitable clothing as some painting materials can stain clothes. You may wish to bring your own apron and gloves.

The class will run from 9.30am – 3.30 pm. There will be a break for lunch (not provided). You may bring a packed lunch or we have a tearoom on site. The class is for adults only. Please arrive 5 minutes before class starts to fill in emergency contact details and receive safety briefing.

In unforeseen circumstances, refunds can be available up to to 2 full weeks in advance of class (minus Eventbrite booking fee). This is so we can try to re-fill the space. We are really sorry but we cannot offer refunds for no shows and last minute cancellations under any circumstances.
