Acrylic Workshop: Paint Tasmania's Poppy Fields Like Renoir

Blend light and colour in a Renoir-style acrylic workshop.



3 hours Location Labrador Class size 1 to 12 guests   $79 (Afterpay available)

Step into the world of Impressionist painting in this vibrant and hands-on acrylic art workshop, where you’ll explore the light, movement, and beauty of Tasmania’s famous white poppy fields. If you’re looking for inspiring painting classes or immersive acrylic painting workshops near you, this session offers a unique opportunity to create a joyful, expressive landscape using professional materials and timeless techniques.
Inspired by the luminous style of Pierre-Auguste Renoir, you’ll learn how to paint with soft, broken brushstrokes, build rich texture with acrylic gel mediums, and blend colour to evoke light and atmosphere. With expert instruction and live demonstration, this workshop will guide you through Renoir’s approach to composition, brushwork, and colour harmony, helping you translate the delicate beauty of Tasmania’s floral landscapes into a richly textured acrylic painting.
Working with Liquitex acrylic paints and mediums on Jasart linen boards, you’ll be encouraged to loosen your technique, experiment with layering, and embrace the spontaneous, light-filled spirit of Impressionism. Whether you’re expanding your artistic practice or looking to connect with your creativity in a supportive studio setting, this workshop provides a relaxed, engaging environment to build your skills and confidence.
All materials are provided for use during the session; just bring your enthusiasm and a willingness to explore. By the end of the workshop, you’ll take home a luminous, Renoir-inspired still life of Tasmania’s poppy fields and a deeper understanding of how to work with acrylics for expressive, impressionistic results.
