In this workshop, we’ll be meeting at Coombe Farm Lakes (The Trout Waters) near Tenterden. There we will paint the beautiful lakes and wonderful views across the fields to the church in the distance. There are also interesting buildings to throw into the mix if you wish, such as a fishing lodge, an oast house, a Wealden farmhouse, farm sheds, and a shepherd’s hut. If the weather turns, there is a room in which we can paint inside. We will finish the day with a short wine tasting at a nearby vineyard
Suitable for oil or acrylic painters. Vegetarian lunch included

This workshop is great for beginners who may simply wish to sketch on the day, and is also suitable for established artists who might wish to paint in a new location with like-minded company. There is parking and toilets on site.
What to bring:
If you are just beginning your location painting experience, you may prefer just to bring a camping chair, and a sketchbook or a drawing board with papers and paints (I can provide drawing boards to rest on if you wish).
For more experienced artists, please bring your own en plein air painting equipment, such as:
A field/plein air easel & tripod
brushes and a palette knife
paints & Solvents: I’ll be using oils but you can bring acrylics if you wish.
Painting panels will be provided with a pink/orange ground. Please let me know if you’d prefer a white ground?
A jar for water or solvents, rags or kitchen roll, a plastic bag for rubbish. Painting gloves if needed.
Please remember to bring suitable clothing or aprons and suitable footwear - there are rabbit holes!
If you are lacking any painting equipment or are travelling from abroad or further afield, please let me know and I can assist.
