Available spaces
Join us for a one-day Impressionist Oil Painting workshop at North Yorks Art School, led by Garth Bailey, an experienced art tutor renowned for his popular oil painting workshops. This beginner-friendly session welcomes all skill levels, guiding you to create a detailed landscape painting in the Impressionist tradition, capturing the scenic beauty of South Cliff, Scarborough. The day begins with a demonstration of Impressionist techniques, followed by a morning sketching session on location and an afternoon in the studio to complete your artwork. Inspired by the vibrant coastal landscapes of North Yorkshire, this workshop offers a supportive and creative atmosphere, ensuring you leave with a stunning oil painting and the skills to continue this expressive art form. Impressionism, pioneered in the 1870s by artists like Monet and Pissarro, revolutionised art with its focus on loose brushwork, vivid colours, and capturing fleeting light and atmosphere, often painted en plein air. Oil paints, used since the Renaissance, became the medium of choice for Impressionists due to their rich pigmentation and blending capabilities, ideal for landscapes and scenes of everyday life. Requiring only paints, brushes, and canvas, Impressionist oil painting is accessible yet profound, producing artworks for display or personal collections. This workshop introduces you to the vibrant techniques of Impressionism, empowering you to craft a landscape painting that captures the essence of Scarborough cliffs, gardens, or sea views with dynamic brushstrokes and colour. Saturday 21st November 2026 10am - 4pm with Garth Bayley This workshop takes place at: North Yorks Art School 2-4 South Street Scarborough YO11 2BP All materials provided. Lunch and refreshments are included.
