July 2026 Newsletter
Welcome to This Month's Online Art Class
This month we're heading outdoors for inspiration as we explore the beautiful landscapes of the Roe Valley Country Park and the stunning Sperrin Mountains. Together we'll create a vibrant mixed media landscape using expressive acrylic painting techniques, flowing inks and shimmering gold leaf to capture the beauty and atmosphere of our local scenery.
Whether you're new to painting or looking to develop your own creative style, this class is designed to encourage experimentation, texture and confidence in your artwork. You'll learn how to build layers, combine different media and create a striking contemporary landscape that reflects the natural beauty of Northern Ireland.
Materials You'll Need
Canvas or canvas paper
Acrylic paints
Ink
Gold leaf
A selection of brushes
Palette knife
Spray paint
Gather your materials, make yourself a cup of tea, and let's enjoy a relaxing and inspiring creative session together!
