Create Your Own Monet – Acrylic Painting Workshop
Friday 6th March, 10am – 4pm
Bring your own impressionistic dream to life with Somerset-based artist Katie Brent
In this immersive full-day workshop, you’ll learn how to interpret light, colour, and movement to create your own semi-abstract water scene inspired by Monet’s iconic style. Using acrylic paints, you will build layers through mark-making, and subtle texture techniques that capture the shimmering, dreamlike quality of water and reflection.
Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned artist, this session is designed to spark creativity, help you loosen up your brushwork, and embrace the art of suggestion over detail. You’ll leave with a completed painting on paper, new skills in expressive painting, and a deeper appreciation for Monet’s magical approach to light and landscape.
All materials will be provided.
Meet The Artist
Inspired by the stunning Jurassic coastline and the rolling hills of Somerset and Dorset, Katie Brent works expressively with a variety of mediums: oils, acrylic, mixed media and aquatint printing. First taking photographs, or sketching directly ‘en situ’ to depict a particular moment in time and atmosphere she says:
“I am drawn to the landscape that surrounds me, I never tire of it and seek to capture the atmosphere and splendour of it. It is a constant source of inspiration.”
Upon completing a degree in graphic design and illustration at St Martin’s School of Art and Design, and then a P.G.C.E, Katie worked as an artist and muralist in London; then as a freelance artist for an art consultancy, her commissions featuring around the globe.
Katie now lives in Somerset. She is currently represented at; London Contemporary Art Gallery in London, Greenstage Gallery in Hereford, A2 Gallery in Wells, Highgate Contemporary Art in London and Hatch Gallery in Christchurch. https://www.katiebrent.co.uk
