Landscapre Artist Package
A unique experience engaging with the Irish Landscape which is tailored to your individual and group requirements. Spend some time taking in the colours and shifting light around the Inishowen Peninsula, absorbing the skylines and atmosphere in a very special way.
En plein air is simply painting in the great outdoors. This experience gives each participant in depth understanding of techniques in oil and acrylic painting, and their own expanded perception of composition, colour mixing, shape and form, while painting this beautiful Peninsula at the most northerly point of Ireland.
It is suitable for begineers to advanced, no prior experience is necessary as the tutor can encourage anyone to get out there and paint, in their own distinctive style, with a focus on fun and relaxation.
Materials (oil, acrylics, canvas boards and brushes) can be provided and paintings can be dried and returned to particpants by post at an additional cost, or participants are welcome to bring their own painting materials and their own standing easels. A materials list can be provided.
