In this hands-on workshop, participants will explore the art of creating tree landscapes using acrylic inks, mixed media, and abstract techniques. Begin by painting abstract backgrounds on unprimed canvas, then apply a clear primer before layering trees with acrylic inks, markers, dip pens, and brushes.
Throughout the day, you’ll experiment with various materials to build a textured, dynamic painting, finishing with a unique tree landscape that combines abstraction and natural form. Ideal for artists of all levels.
About the Artist
Rachel Burke, a professional visual artist based in County Kilkenny, intricately weaves identity and placement within one’s environment into her work. Her paintings, crafted with acrylic inks on unprimed canvas or wood, evoke a sense of nostalgia through rural landscapes juxtaposed against abstract backgrounds adorned with backwards writings and patterns. Burke’s work not only reflects on environmental concerns but also explores humanity’s relationship with the natural world, inviting viewers to deepen their connection with ‘self.’
