Spend an inspiring day learning how to paint light filled gardens in the style of Monet, Van Gogh & Manet.
Using acrylic paints, Annie will teach you the skills to paint dappled light falling on flowers and foliage. Layers of varied mark making and colour build up to capture joyful expanses of sunlit glades and cool shady bowers. Use of colour and spontaneous brush strokes are the signature techniques recognised as being Impressionism and Annie will demonstrate how this style allows the viewer's perception to do much of the colour mixing, rather than meticulously painting every detail.
This workshop is suitable for all levels. No experience is necessary. (Children 12 and over allowed with an accompanying adult). Small workshop numbers (maximum class size of 8) ensures you plenty of time with Annie.
Historic Settlers Cottage is located at 180 Pearson Street, Churchlands, is owned by the National Trust and currently used as Art Studios. The setting is idyllic, nestled close to the Herdsman Lake, surrounded by trees and wildlife. The venue for our workshops is in the adjacent Shelter area (outdoor undercover with weather protection) and on the shady verandahs of the cottage.
