What you'll do
In this painting course, you will learn how to capture the beauty of the sea through various mediums.The flung spray of breaking waves, the rippling criss-cross of water lapping sandbars, expansive sea vistas and the microcosmic worlds within rock pools - all can be explored in this class, with the added frisson of capturing the glitter of sunlight or the romance of moonlight reflections. All approaches welcome, including semi-realism, abstraction and beyond!Throughout the class, you'll work with various materials like watercolours, acrylics, oils, and mixed media, immersing yourself in the creative process. Don't be surprised if you feel inspired by the vast ocean vistas and detailed textures you encounter – the journey of creating art can be truly transformative.At the end of the workshop, you will have a collection of sea-inspired artworks to take home, each reflecting your unique style and vision. Let the waves of creativity guide you on this artistic adventure.Course duration: 23 September - 9 December excluding 28 Oct, 4 Nov
