Painting Trees in the Landscape
A One-Day Workshop for Artists Who Love Nature
Trees are storytellers in the landscape—each one shaped by wind, weather, and time. In this one-day workshop, we’ll explore how to paint trees that feel alive and rooted in their surroundings. Whether it’s a lone oak on a hillside or a cluster of silver birch by the water, you’ll learn how to capture their character, texture, and place in the landscape.
Join renowned international artist Linda Hollingshead for an inspiring workshop designed just for you! With over 25 years of experience, Linda is celebrated not only for her artistic talent but also for her infectious passion and supportive teaching style. Her warm and friendly approach creates a nurturing environment where creativity flourishes.
