‘Country lane in sunlight’ Workshop in Acrylics with Mark Warner. Sat 9th May 2026

Saturday 9th May 2026, 10am to 4pm

For this workshop we will be looking at a country lane in bright sunlight.
We will examine the layering of acrylic colour within a landscape, while also paying closer attention to the translucency of colour and colour contrast within the composition.

This workshop will explore the results of  sunlight on foliage as well as creating distance within a landscape.

We will also see how sketch planning can assist your painting.

Reference image will be provided, materials needed are listed below.

Come and join me on another full day workshop at the Willow Gallery in May.
