Sketch and Paint: Expressive Landscapes in Acrylics

In this dynamic short course, you’ll create energetic paintings using the expressive power of palette knives and bold, large brushes. Through engaging exercises, you’ll gain a solid understanding of essential painting techniques, learn the art of colour mixing, and discover how to create captivating depth in your work.

We’ve structured this course to take you from learning the essentials to creative independence in two distinct phases. The first three sessions are dedicated to building a strong technical foundation, where you’ll experiment with application, texture, and light to master the physical nature of the medium, using the Yorkshire Landscape as our inspiration. These foundational weeks are designed to strip away hesitation, encouraging you to work with speed and purpose.

In the final two sessions, you’ll transition from practice to personal expression as you bring your own photograph to life with newfound confidence and skill.
