Have you ever looked out over a stunning landscape and thought:
“I wish I could capture that on canvas”?
Now’s your chance! Starting January 17th, I’m offering a 6-week landscape painting art class course at By Design, A Local Story, in Castletroy Shopping Centre. I’d love for you to join me!
Why Landscape Painting?
Landscape painting is more than putting paint on a canvas—it’s about capturing the beauty of nature, translating breathtaking views into art, and discovering your unique artistic style. Whether you’re a complete beginner or have dabbled in art, this course will guide you step by step through creating your own landscape masterpiece.
By the end of the course, you’ll have learned valuable skills like composition, colour mixing, and brush techniques—and walk away with your own completed piece of art.
What You’ll Learn in this art class:
- Composition and planning a landscape
- Creating depth and atmosphere in your landscape
- Colour mixing secrets to bring your scene to life
- Techniques for painting skies, water, trees, and natural textures
- Refining details and finishing touches
Each week, we will focus on a different aspect of the painting, allowing you to work step-by-step toward a fully realized landscape. You’ll also have the opportunity to develop your unique style as you gain confidence with your materials and techniques.
