Atmospheric Woodlands Art Workshop 5th September 2026 at Ibstock

Paint the Forest! A Fun Woodland Workshop
📍 Ibstock School/Leisure Centre, (Opposite the Palace , High St Ibstock)
🕙Saturday 5th September 10 am - 4 pm (Lunch break 1-1:45)

Come and join me for a joyful day of painting, laughter, and creativity in the heart of the National Forest! Whether you’re a total beginner, a rusty improver, or a seasoned brush-slinger, this relaxed woodland-themed workshop is for you.

I'll provide everything you need-bring yourself (and a packed lunch). We’ll dive into colour mixing, blocking in shapes, layering with negative painting and stencils, and adding light and atmosphere until you’ve created your own stunning woodland scene on canvas to take home and show off.

You’ll be guided step by step with live demos and plenty of tips, using reference photos full of forestry inspiration. And of course, we’ll stop for the essentials: coffee, cake, and a good natter.

Expect friendly faces, lots of encouragement, and a relaxed vibe. Wear clothes you don’t mind splashing accidental paint on.
