Although painting abstract landscapes may appear to be simple on the surface, the actual successful execution is actually far more difficult. How do we simplify a complicated mosaic of fields? How do we elevate the prosaic pastoral scene to something extraordinary? The solution is careful use of shape and colour.
In this two-week workshop I will explain my abstracting approach including demonstrations and exercises. This workshop will help build your understanding of simplification, and encourage you to experiment, with the ultimate goal of improving your practise. Although my demonstrations will be produced in acrylic, this course will be suitable for oil, pastel and watercolour artists too, as the focus will be on composition and colour palette choices.

Since he was a child, Paul Bailey has been fascinated by the varied wild, remote, and areas of Britain, be it moorland, mountain or coastal low-land. Inspired by this deep passion for the British landscape, Bailey fuses his memories, helped by sketches and photos, with vivid colors and dynamic brushstrokes, to produce sometimes ethereal interpretations of the diverse, subtle, and dramatic scenery within these great isles.
Almost completely self-taught, Paul learned through books, by visiting galleries and by viewing work by other artists. He enjoys a wide variety of art genres, from Turner to Rothko.
In Paul’s own approach to his art, he looks for the abstract forms in nature, breaking the complex down to more basic elements.
