Landscape Painting Workshop

With Jessica Holzhausen

Price: £60 per ticket

WHAT

MIXED MEDIA LANDSCAPE WORKSHOP

Landscape paintings tell stories about places and people, nature and history. In this workshop we will explore how to capture the essence of landscapes using a variety of different materials: acrylic paints, ink, oil pastels, pencils and paper.

The workshop is suitable for beginners and intermediates who would like to learn new techniques or refresh their skills. It will take you step-by-step through everything you need to know to create a colourful and bold landscape painting – from perspective, composition and luminosity to colour & material choices.

All materials including canvases are provided, but please bring some ideas for a landscape you would like to paint. These can be sketches, photos of locations or online references, anything that inspires you to paint.

Meet your workshop leader, Jessica Holzhausen

Jessica Holzhausen is an artist, writer and historian, living and working in Oxford. Jessica always had a creative streak for which she found an outlet in writing short stories, crafting and painting in various media. While she finds inspiration in the natural world and real places, her art is often based on her own inner landscapes: a storm brewing in the head or the calm serenity that arises from focusing on the twisting branches of a tree. Like trees a lot of her paintings tell a hidden (hi)story.

Next to painting landscapes in oil, pastels and acrylics, Jessica has a passion for creating wearable art pieces, like handpainted bags or purses and jewellery from recycled materials.

OTHER USEFUL STUFF

The Meet Point Coffee Summertown at the entrance to The Cluster offers delicious coffees and snacks.
