The sea can have a real sense of movement when the wind is up, with the spray, waves and surf colliding. How can you approach this in your painting? In this workshop we will be exploring how to create this movement of water and foam, while looking at the shapes and tonal changes within the waves. We will explore the harmony of our colour palette and experiment with brush strokes. Suitable for all abilities.

This workshop will explore the results of  sunlight on foliage as well as creating distance within a landscape.
