Cambridge Creative Corner

Escape for a day of creativity and discover the joy of painting in the Impressionist style. This delightful workshop is perfect for beginners, while offering plenty to engage those with more painting experience.

The day begins in The Pottingshed, at The Waterman, where you'll explore the key techniques used by the Impressionist masters. Through step-by-step demonstrations and guidance, you'll learn how to create expressive paintings using visible brushstrokes, broken colour and impasto.

Then, weather permitting, we'll head outdoors to paint en plein air in Midsummer Common. Surrounded by natural light and inspiring scenery, you'll experience the traditional way Impressionist artists captured the changing colours and atmosphere of the landscape. If the weather isn't kind, we'll continue painting on canvas in the comfort of The Pottingshed.

By the end of the day, you'll have gained confidence in Impressionist painting techniques, created your own original acrylic landscape on canvas, and enjoyed a relaxing, inspiring day immersed in art.
(Please bring a picnic lunch and drinks to enjoy during our break while painting outdoors. We'll pause to relax and take in the beautiful surroundings before continuing with the afternoon session.)
