Expressive & Colourful Landscapes (Oil and Acrylic)
2 Day Weekend Workshop
Aug 8-9
9am to 4pm
Brookfield Art Pavilion, Brookfield (Brisbane West)
Join me for a two-day landscape painting workshop exploring how to create paintings with creative colour, stronger design and more expressive brushwork.
Rather than simply copying a reference or scene, you’ll learn how to identify what excites you about the landscape — the light, mood, colour, movement or atmosphere — and build a painting around that idea. Natasha will guide students through practical approaches for simplifying the landscape, planning stronger compositions, using colour with more confidence, and developing a more expressive, painterly response to the subject.
This workshop is suitable for beginners through to more experienced painters who want to loosen up, simplify the landscape and bring more energy and personality into their work. Through demonstrations, guided exercises and individual painting time, students will explore ways to develop expressive, colourful landscape studies without becoming overwhelmed by detail.
Oil and acrylic painters are welcome. Instruction will be conducted in oils.
Venue and Access
550 Brookfield Rd,
Brookfield QLD 4069
The workshop will be held at the historic Brookfield Art Pavilion, located in the beautiful rural suburb of Brookfield. This spacious venue has been connected with art-making for over 100 years and provides a generous, light-filled setting for the workshop. There is plenty of parking available in the dirt car park outside, and the venue includes a kitchenette with a fridge if you would like to bring a packed lunch. There is also a café next door. Please bring your own easel, as there are no standing easels available on site. Tables and chairs will be provided if you prefer to work seated, and a small table easel may be useful. The pavilion can be a little cool on winter mornings, so please dress warmly; by mid-morning, once the sun warms the space, it is usually very pleasant. Toilets are located a short walk down the hill behind Brookfield Hall, with ramp access available. More information is available via the Brookfield website
