🌊 TIDAL TEXTURES – Textured Seascapes in Oils

Harbour Arts Centre, Irvine • Friday 24th October • 1–4pm

Dive into the world of expressive seascapes in this relaxed afternoon workshop focused on texture, movement and coastal energy. Using rich WATER MIXABLE oil paints, we’ll explore techniques like palette knife painting, underpainting, textured additions and mixed media layering to bring waves, foam and shifting skies to life.

This workshop is all about experimentation and learning to work loosely and fearlessly — using texture and mark-making to evoke the wild beauty of the sea.

🌊 “Splash around in oils — no waterproofs needed.”
