ABSTRACT PAINTING WITH TRUDI VAN DER ELSEN in Burren College of Art, a 5 day course painting 12th – 16th August 2024 at Newtown Castle, Ballyvaughan, Co. Clare, Ireland. E: contact@burrencollege.ie The aim of this five-day course is to develop a new perception of the landscape, to open up our senses to nature, immerse in the scene, feel it, hear it, see it and express it.
Through the energy, movement and light expressed in a new creation of lines, paint, mark making & colour, we learn to connect on a deeper level to the landscape around us and how to translate the essence of a scene into a painting, a collage, a drawing or a combination of mediums. We work spontaneously and intuitively to the visible and invisible world, opening up to the direct rawness from within and dealing with whatever comes to us, allowing for abstraction. This workshop is now fully booked. Please email julia@burrencollege.ie if you wish to be added to a waiting list.

We had a perfect day for our workshop on Saturday. The sun was shining hot and we were searching the bliss of shade under the trees and at the pond. A very pleasant day, with lots of paintings done.
5th and 12th May - We had perfect days for these workshops! Warm weather, sunshine and a blue sky. Painting outside in the garden, a holistic experience, with the sounds of birds, the estuary with the ongoing changing of light and colours. A real challenge, with the paint drying very quick, we got lovely paintings done full of spontaneity and freshness. It was a lot of fun.
