About this event
Create fun and vibrant paintings that blend observation with imagination and emotion, inspired by the picturesque seaside town of St Ives.
This course encourages an expressive, intuitive approach to colour and mark-making in a supportive and welcoming environment, guided by contemporary artist John Dyer, known for his vibrant depictions of Cornwall.
Combining the energy of outdoor exploration with focused studio practice, you’ll respond creatively to the landscape of St Ives. Through observational studies, experimentation, and guided exercises, you’ll explore a range of approaches – discovering how colour, form, and mark-making can evoke atmosphere, movement, and emotion, rather than simply describe what you see.
Suitable for beginners, with small class sizes in a stunning studio overlooking the beach in St Ives.
