If you are inspired by the sea and want to capture its energy and beauty in your own piece of art, then this is the workshop for you. It is a fun and friendly creative day where you are encouraged to be expressive and adventurous with your art. No previous experience is needed but a willingness to take risks, make mistakes and a sense of humour is always appreciated.

The tutor, Elizabeth Macdonald, will share her experience as a full time artist whilst introducing you to colour mixing with acrylic paints, the use of different brushes, palette knife work and mark making techniques. During the day she will be taking you through step by step stages focusing on waves, splashes, the shoreline and horizons.

All materials are supplied and we do provide protective aprons but always advise that you wear old clothes as it can get messy.

Please note that the art room is accessed via steps and we will be working from easels so you will be on your feet for much of the day.

You will need to bring your own lunch and refreshments but tea and coffee will be available throughout the day. Be assured that if your painting is not dry to take home at the end of the day, we are happy to store it for collection the following week.

10% of proceeds from the day go towards an Art for Wellbeing Programme 2021, supporting people living with the effects of long term illness.
