WORKSHOP COMING UP

Spring Woodland Scene
with Kara Strachan
Saturday 10th May 2025 10am – 4pm
​
​
The aim of this workshop is to produce an atmospheric spring woodland scene. I will encourage
those who are novices and to guide those who already have skills and want to explore new exciting
techniques with acrylic paint.
​
- Challenge yourself with underpainting, over-layering and colour wheel considerations.
- Create trees, foliage and spring flowers by using watercolour techniques, palette knife and
other contemporary mark making
- Use acrylic paint, thick and heavy but also loose and free.
- Create dappled pathways with a consideration of vanishing points and perspective.
