During this popular workshop Annie will teach you the skills to paint dappled light falling on flowers and foliage. Layers of varied mark making in acrylic paint 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.
The workshop is suitable for all levels. No experience is necessary. (Children 12 and over allowed with an accompanying adult).
