Orla Stevens - Expressive Seascapes

Wild Coast

Expressive Seascapes in Mixed Media

Sunday 28th September 11-5pm

Join Orla Stevens for a day of painting inspired by Scotland’s dramatic coastlines. In this workshop, we’ll explore how to both reference what we can see as well as capture the atmosphere of the coast through playful, expressive approaches to painting using mixed media. 

We’ll focus on loosening up, experimenting with mark-making, and layering with acrylics, inks and oil pastels to create seascapes through a semi abstracted approach. Through guided sketching and painting exercises and demonstrations, you’ll discover how to simplify the landscape, use contrast, mark making and colour to convey atmosphere, and bring a sense of movement and emotion into your work. 

Materials and light refreshments included.
