Creating Abstract Landscapes with Oils and Inks - October 4th & Oct 11, 2025

Create an Abstracted Landscape layered with oil paints and inks!

Join abstract landscape painter Cheryl-Ann Hills for a two-day, 3 hr/day workshop in her home studio in Hamilton Ontario and learn how to create an abstract landscape painting using oil paints and water-based inks! For ages 18+ Some previous painting experience recommended.

In this class you’ll learn how to:

• Successfully layer oil paints over water-based inks

• Find shapes in the landscape

• Develop an abstracted approach in the landscape

• Use layers to develop complexity and depth

• Simplify the composition

• Develop a narrative in the work

NOTE: This is a two part class. The first class we will be using our water-based medium for the base layers. The second class we will be layering oil paints over the ink layers. The time between is required to ensure the water-based layer is fully dry.
