Impressionist Oil Painting Workshop
Saturday 17th April 2027 - Cober Hill, Scarborough with Garth Bayley - Weekend Break Available
Available spaces
Join us for this one-day oil painting workshop at Cober Hill, led by Garth Bayley, an experienced and popular art tutor renowned for his engaging and supportive oil painting workshops. This beginner-friendly workshop welcomes all skill levels, from complete newcomers to those looking to develop their technique further. Over the two days you will create a vibrant landscape painting in the true Impressionist tradition, capturing the scenic beauty of the surrounding North Yorkshire coast. The workshop begins with a demonstration of key Impressionist techniques, including loose brushwork, vibrant colour mixing, and ways to capture light and atmosphere. You will then head outdoors for on-location sketching and painting sessions (en plein air), working directly from the gardens, and sea views that inspired so many artists. Back in the studio, you will develop and complete your paintings with Garth’s guidance, building depth, refining your marks, and bringing your work to life. Inspired by the ever-changing coastal landscapes of North Yorkshire, this relaxed and creative workshop offers plenty of individual support in a friendly atmosphere. You will leave with one or more finished oil paintings that truly capture the essence of the location, along with the skills and confidence to continue exploring this expressive art form in your own time. Impressionism, pioneered in the 1870s by artists such as Monet and Pissarro, revolutionised painting with its focus on fleeting light, vivid colours, and spontaneous brushwork often painted outdoors. This accessible yet profound approach requires just paints, brushes, and canvas, making it perfect for capturing everyday scenes and landscapes with energy and feeling.
