Padraig McCaul - Oil Painting Workshops 

Who is it for?  The workshops are aimed at painting enthusiasts who have painted a little and would like to explore some new ways of approaching their painting. Beginners are also welcome and can find great encouragement and help from fellow participants. If you have any queries please call Padraig at 086 8801733 or email info@padraigmccaul.com

What to expect: We will use the landscape and coast of Achill as our inspiration, so rain wear and sun cream are essential! The workshops will involve short daily demonstrations by Padraig followed by outdoor scouting trips for suitable views to sketch and paint. The second part of the day will typically be based indoors developing the initial sketches on canvas. Over the course of the workshops we will look at elements such as composition, colour and movement, and how they contribute to successful landscape and coastal paintings. 

Each day starts at 11.00am and finishes at 5.00pm with a break of an hour for lunch.

What to bring:  Participants are asked to bring their own materials and easel. However materials easels, canvas, paints) can be provided if booked in advance. I work in oils but participants are welcome to use acrylics if they wish.

Cost:   The cost for the 2 days is €120. This includes tea/coffee each day. Lunch is not included but is available at Lavelles.
