Painting Expressive Landscapes in Oil or Acrylic
Photos & Videos from Customers
Come and join award winning artist Ben Winspear and learn how to paint landscapes in your own personal, expressive and lively way.
There is more to painting a landscape than just copying what is in front of us. In this workshop we will explore how to convey more emotion and meaning in our paintings than the camera has recorded.
Working in the studio, we will be looking at landscape and discovering what does and doesn't work. We will also be consolidating, editing, enhancement and colour choices as well as edge management.
During this full day workshop we will make some small loose landscape studies and learn how to capture an outdoor scene with expression and vitality.

Your Teacher
Ben Winspear is a Melbourne based artist who works in both oil and watercolour.
His painting often runs the full spectrum from purely representational through to abstraction – as he seeks to develop a synthesis of both in his own unique and personal visual language to describe the world around him.
His two loves though are the portrait/figure and the Australian landscape and regularly paints both from life, often painting from the back of his car en route to teach classes or a workshop. Passing on his knowledge to those who attend his classes and workshops is Ben’s other passion. He seeks to ground students solidly in the traditions of observational drawing and painting with an informed use of quality materials.
He has been painting professionally for over fifteen years and has held several successful solo and joint exhibitions and been involved in numerous arts projects in the education field.
