Landscape Painting

with Padraig McCaul


9th & 10th August 2025

10am to 5pm

€350


Class Description
For this workshop we will use the landscape and coastline around Mulranny and the Curraun Peninsula as our inspiration, so rain wear and sun cream are essential! The workshops will involve a mix of daily talks and demonstrations by Padraig, painting and sketching on location at some of Mulranny’s most beautiful spots (weather permitting) and indoor studio based work to develop and finish paintings. Over the course of the workshops we will look at elements such as composition and perspective, colour and movement, and how they contribute to successful landscape and coastal paintings.

It’s the west of Ireland landscapes in particular that I’m drawn to. To me they are what Ireland is all about, and there is an energy and a sense of timelessness in them that I try to get across in my paintings
