This LANDSCAPE ART workshop with artist Jonathan Shearer will explore a variety of ways to manipulate different materials working outdoors.   Starting with sketchbooks you will look at ways of collecting information through drawing and painting.  Participants will then look at how to translate the initial sketches into larger paintings and drawings.  The main focus will be on looking at the environment we are in and finding a way to express our response visually. £100 for two days - includes lunch.  Accommodation is available at the Old Brewery.

This weekend PAINTING A WALK course with artist Oliver Reed, aims to explore the local landscape through making a series of painting studies during a walk through the changing landscape and conditions encountered. Workin in oils, acrylics or watercolour, participants will spend the first day gathering a range of painting studies by walking sections, or completely around, the headland of Cromarty. On the second day, you'll move to the studio and make works that convey the experience, either in an abstracted or representational approach to create something that explores the journey taken. £100 for two days - includes lunch.
