Capture movement through art in this palette-knife oil painting workshop.

In this immersive workshop, you’ll learn how to translate dynamic bodily movement into bold, expressive paintings. Working from action photographs inspired by sport, dance and movement, you’ll explore gesture, composition, colour, texture and the expressive possibilities of the palette knife.

Bring your own action photo or choose from a selection provided in the workshop. No experience needed.
