Discover new ways of seeing and expressing the landscape in this immersive two-day painting and drawing course, Abstracting the Landscape, at Messums Studios with drawing tutor Emma J Findley.

Designed for artists of all levels, this course invites you to move beyond literal representation and explore the essence, rhythm, and emotion of the natural world.

Over two days, you will work both outdoors and in the studio, allowing your ideas to develop and shift in response to your surroundings in dynamic ways.

On day one, using a limited palette of materials and colour, you will work “En Plein Air” drawing directly from the landscape and responding in real time to light, atmosphere, and movement.

On day two, you’ll return to the studio to transform your drawings into paintings, using them as a starting point for abstraction.
