Join acclaimed artist Paul McCarthy FRAS for a hands-on acrylic painting workshop, where you’ll work from your own reference material to explore tone and rhythm in the landscape.

“I would normally work en plein air, however for the purpose of this workshop I will be working from either paintings or drawings done on site or from photos. Learn how to simplify form, deliver the message in slashes of colour and tone, and develop new skills in design and composition. You can expect a creative and fun learning experience.”
— Paul McCarthy
