Discover Acrylic Landscape Painting is perfect for beginners and those with some painting experience who want to develop their skills and confidence with acrylics.

In this relaxed and supportive environment, you’ll learn how to:

  • Mix and apply acrylic colours
  • Use brushes, materials and layering techniques
  • Create depth, capture light and shade and bring atmosphere into your landscapes
  • Work from reference photographs to build compositions

Step by step, you’ll explore how to bring landscapes to life — from rolling hills and tranquil lakes to dramatic skies and coastal scenes. Each session includes demonstrations, individual guidance, and plenty of creative freedom.

By the end of the course, you’ll have completed your own acrylic landscape painting!

I am a Harrogate based artist and teacher. I work primarily as a painter with a more recent secondary focus in printmaking. I have worked with curators and galleries to exhibit my work.
I grew up in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales in Wensleydale, the natural beauty of my surroundings has always provided me with the inspiration that I need to create.
I have a Degree in Fine Art, an MA in Creative Practice and a PGCE. I have experience teaching art in post-compulsory settings as well teaching a broad range of subjects to individuals with disabilities.
