Impasto Birds & Flora Newcastle [JL-W-Feb27]

Whether you're a beginner or an experienced painter looking to expand your creative approach incorporating impasto and palette knife techniques, this workshop will guide you step by step as you develop your own expressive artwork featuring birds nestled among native flora. Working from reference images and exploring shape, form, and movement, you’ll transform inspiration into lively, striking paintings full of texture, character and colour.

In this workshop, Julie will share her methods for:

• Searching and collecting inspiring reference material
• Developing expressive compositions with birds as the focal point
• Colour mixing and layering techniques for vibrancy and depth
• Mark making, impasto techniques, and brushwork to add flair and texture
• Balancing form and abstraction to create interest
• Infusing personality and playfulness into your work
