Join artist Shelley Perry to create your own “landscape in colour” using the same process as the Colour & Coast exhibition. Instead of painting a traditional scene, you’ll translate the colours you see in the landscape outside the window into expressive blocks of colour – using only your hands, no brushes.

This is a relaxed, playful and wonderfully freeing way to paint, focusing on process, colour, and creativity rather than perfection.

£5 per canvas. Booking not required.  Suitable for all ages 5+ (all children must be accompanied). 

Please note: There are a set number of canvases so the event will finish once run out. 

What you’ll do

  • Observe the colours in the landscape around you
  • Mix acrylic paints to match what you see
  • Build a grid of colour squares to form your own abstract landscape
  • Paint entirely with your hands for a tactile, expressive experience
  • Create a mini canvas artwork to take home

What to expect

  • Friendly, expert guidance from exhibition artist Shelley Perry
  • Simple demonstrations of colour mixing and hand-painting techniques

Why join?
