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.

Suitable for beginners. Materials will be provided

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.’

Refunds are offered up to 48 hours in advance of the event. Please email [email protected] to cancel. A full refund will be issued if the workshop is cancelled by Butler Gallery.
