In this workshop, Iona Sanders will help you to find new ways into creating expressive and lively acrylic landscape paintings.

It can be daunting to put brush to paper or canvas when you’re unsure where to begin, and this session is designed to unlock new ways of working so you leave feeling energised, confident and inspired.

Iona will share how she starts and develops her own paintings, while encouraging you to explore and develop your own voice. Gain inspiration from the St Ives landscape, learning to respond more intuitively to what you see around you, and exploring new ways into image-making.

This workshop is available as both a half-day and a full-day experience. The full day offers more time to develop your initial studies, with added guidance and space to explore your ideas. An enjoyable and supportive workshop that will give you practical tools to continue developing your practice. The St Ives School of Painting is a friendly and welcoming place for all levels of ability, with small class sizes that foster a nurturing and encouraging environment.

Please note: This is an adult workshop, however we would welcome children aged 14 or over, if accompanied by a paying adult. This is the case as we cannot guarantee that all our tutors have been DBS checked.
