Artist in television competition to run oil painting workshop
A semi-finalist in this year's Sky Arts Landscape of the Year competition Chester-based Anne Byrne, will visit the Willow Gallery in Oswestry in June to run a workshop, Landscape Painting in Oils.
Anne was one of 48 artists chosen from 2,000 to take part in the televised competition. She won her heat which saw the artist on Blackpool's Pleasure Beach, to capture the UK's tallest rollercoaster. Anne went on to compete in the semi-final, where the artists had the challenge of depicting – in four hours – their take on London's Thames Barrier flood defence.
The workshop at the Willow Gallery on June 3, is limited to just a small number of students so that each painter will receive sufficient individual attention to develop their skills.
"This promises to be a very interesting day of painting with this highly inspirational artist," gallery spokesperson said.
