Plein Air Painting in the Cotswolds
Experience a creative day immersed in nature with artist Adele Riley. Explore expressive plein air painting in the beautiful surroundings of the Cotswold Sculpture Park.
This unique workshop is about more than painting — it’s an opportunity to slow down, connect with the landscape, and explore your creativity through colour, texture, and mark-making using acrylic inks.
About the Workshop
Led by Adele Riley, this inspiring workshop invites you to explore painting in a relaxed and intuitive way, letting go of ideas of perfection and embracing the process of creative expression.
Working outdoors in the landscape, you’ll be encouraged to respond to your surroundings through acrylic inks, capturing the atmosphere, movement, and energy of the natural environment.
At the end of the day, you will leave with a collection of work and a refreshed, more confident approach to painting.
