Dublin Shorelines: A Palette Knife Series

Description

A four-part palette knife workshop series exploring marine subjects through bold, expressive painting.

Inspired by Irish coastal landscapes, this series focuses on boats, harbours, and shifting light along the shoreline. You’ll learn how to simplify what you see and build paintings using texture, colour, and confident palette knife work.

Drawing inspiration from the coastal work of Paul Henry and Jack B. Yeats, this course encourages a more instinctive, expressive approach to painting.

Each session stands on its own while also building your understanding across the series.
