Mixed-Media Painting Workshop

(In English) with Sarah Carrington

Join local landscape artist Sarah Carrington for a painting workshop exploring the freedom of mixed media, using the surrounding landscape and coastline as inspiration.  

There will be a quick demonstration, before exploring ways of loosening your style of painting, through paint, mark making and textures, working on different scales and surfaces to create free expressions of the beautiful local area.

A set of acrylic paints and a selection of brushes

For line and mark making – chalks, pens, pencils, markers, whatever you like to use

Canvas boards, boards and/or canvases of various sizes; no larger than A4, 2 in total

(these can be bought from eg. The Works, Amazon, or The Range), 

Any images or photographs of views that you would like to work from.
