In this engaging demonstration, Sarah Lewke will explore how to draw inspiration from outdoor experiences to create an acrylic landscape painting. She will guide participants in selecting landscape imagery that resonates joyfully and authentically with them. Sarah will share her expertise on creating a harmonious colour palette that not only enhances the visual appeal of the painting but also reflects the emotional experience of the landscape.

Paid events may include hands-on instruction, materials, and exclusive product offers. The details will be listed on the event page.
Free events may include a short, informative session led by an artist—perfect for picking up techniques, learning about materials, and sparking inspiration. You’re welcome to paint along, but it’s not required.
Will I get a recording if I miss an online event?
No. These demos are live-only. If recorded, the footage is gifted to the artist and not shared publicly.

Free events are short, demo-based sessions led by professional artists—great for inspiration and learning.
