Join us for a series of fun, informative Plein Air painting workshops in 2026 at Tegg’s Nose Country Park. In each workshop, experienced professional painters, Christopher Clements and Kieran Ingram, will help you capture a different aspect of landscape painting.
The workshops are based on the Tonalist approach which focuses on interpretation of the light & dark tones of the landscape, while simplifying the colours. The approach will help you to make sense of what you see. You’ll learn to organise what you see into a well-structured painting, evoking the simple beauty of your environment.
Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned painter, these workshops are perfect for anyone looking to improve their Plein Air painting skills. There’s lots of practical help with working outside and they provide a fantastic opportunity to get out of the studio and unleash your creativity in the great outdoors.
The workshops are designed as a set but will also work as stand alone lessons. If you’d like to get an idea what the workshops are like, check out the Northern Realist blog for write ups and pictures of past workshops.
