There is endless variety and they present a fascinating challenge to plain air painters. They provide the perfect subject matter in which to explore the principle of unity and variety common to all painting. There must be enough unity to tell what species a tree is but no two trees of the same species are ever quite the same. On top of that, just like a crowd of people, their individual characteristics change when they are seen as a group.You’ll learn about:shape, texture and character of treeslevel of detail to use at different distancesthe effects of lone and groups of treesEarly July is a great time to paint trees as they’re in full leaf and their form as well differences between species are easier to see. This workshop will help you work out how best to simplify and paint trees while maintaining the essence of their character and species. You’ll look at shape, form, colour and texture and how this is affected by their position in the foreground, middle distance or far distance.Plus, as usual we’ll also cover the practical side of working outside with lots of helpful hints and tips to make sure you get the most out of you plein air painting sessions.This workshop can be done on its own but it also follows on nicely from the previous two looking at sketching and colour mixing.Northern Realist Plein Air workshops are based on the Tonalist approach which focuses on interpretation of the light & dark tones of the landscape, while simplifying the colours. The approach will help you to make sense of what you see. You’ll be able to organise it into a well-structured painting, evoking the simple beauty of your environment.Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned painter, these workshops are perfect for anyone looking to improve their Plein Air painting skills. It’s a fantastic opportunity to get out of the studio and unleash your creativity in the great outdoors.You can book for one or all of the workshops, to fit your schedule. The Sketching the Landscape workshop is a great foundation for all the workshops that we’re running this year as the techniques studied on this one will be used throughout the series.Agenda🕑: 10:00 AM - 12:30 PMDrawing and painting exercisesInfo: In the morning you’ll do a number of studies designed to help you with the shape, form and character of different trees.🕑: 12:30 PM - 01:30 PMLunchInfo: Bring your own lunch or get something from The Nose Cafe and enjoy a sociable lunch with your fellow artists. 🕑: 01:30 PM - 03:30 PMLong Plein Air Painting StudyInfo: After lunch you’ll work on a longer study of a single or group of trees taking the lessons form the morning that bit further. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/macclesfield/plein-air-painting-workshop-sketching-and-painting-trees/100001982005710434 - **Event Categories**: art, fine-arts, workshops, drawing-painting, contests - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket URL**: https://consumer.pxf.io/c/1339408/3151484/39691?partnerpropertyid=1191892&MediaPartnerPropertyId=1191892&svlink=14105511&level=1&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eventbrite.com%2Fe%2Fplein-air-painting-workshop-sketching-painting-trees-tickets-1982005710434 - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 20, max: 20, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: Macclesfield - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: Tegg's Nose Country Park - **lat**: 53.2564119 - **long**: -2.0759265 - **full address**: Tegg's Nose Country Park, Buxton Old Road, Macclesfield, United Kingdom ## Event Organizer details - **affiliate_id**: 10 - **organizer**: Christopher Clements (https://allevents.in/org/christopher-clements/25770895) ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: banner - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events2/banners/e325894c6c2602501dc0166b173cae8926b849924a46ed969e6fa9e70afdea20-rimg-w1200-h600-dcacadab-gmir.jpg?v=1769805229 - **Alt text**: thumbnail - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events2/banners/af7a3863209b67fd6aaa4cea0fc79dea48144ef2d629077c14110efb8a1ae83b-rimg-w400-h400-dca9a831-gmir.jpg?v=1769805229 ## FAQs - **Q**: When is the event happening? - **A:** Thu, 02 Jul, 2026 at 10:00 am (+01:00) - **Q**: Where is the event happening? - **A:** Tegg's Nose Country Park, Buxton Old Road, Macclesfield, United Kingdom - **Q**: What is the ticket price? - **A:** starting from 20 up to 20 GBP - **Q**: Who is organizing the event? - **A:** Christopher Clements - **Q**: What type of event is this? - **A:** art, fine-arts, workshops, drawing-painting, contests - **Q**: Where can I find ticket details about Plein Air Painting Workshop: Sketching & Painting Trees ? - **A:** You can find ticket details about this event on AllEvents. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "Plein Air Painting Workshop: Sketching & Painting Trees", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events2/banners/e325894c6c2602501dc0166b173cae8926b849924a46ed969e6fa9e70afdea20-rimg-w1200-h600-dcacadab-gmir.jpg?v=1769805229", "startDate": "2026-07-02T10:00:00+01:00", "endDate": "2026-07-02T15:30:00+01:00", "url": "https://allevents.in/macclesfield/plein-air-painting-workshop-sketching-and-painting-trees/100001982005710434", "eventStatus": "https://schema.org/EventScheduled", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "Tegg's Nose Country Park", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "Buxton Old Road", "postalCode": "SK11 0AP", "addressLocality": "Macclesfield", "addressRegion": "EN", "addressCountry": "GB" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "53.2564119", "longitude": "-2.0759265" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "Learn to sketch and paint trees concentrating on their form and character as well as the effect of distance on how much detail to include.", "offers": [ { "@type": "AggregateOffer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "GBP", "availabilityStarts": "2026-01-30", "availabilityEnds": "2026-07-02T15:30:00+01:00", "validFrom": "2026-01-30", "lowPrice": "20.00", "highPrice": "20.00", "price": "20.00", "url": "https://allevents.in/macclesfield/plein-air-painting-workshop-sketching-and-painting-trees/100001982005710434" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "GBP", "availabilityStarts": "2026-01-30", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-01-30", "url": "https://allevents.in/macclesfield/plein-air-painting-workshop-sketching-and-painting-trees/100001982005710434", "price": "20.00", "name": "Deposit" } ], "organizer": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Christopher Clements", "url": "https://allevents.in/org/christopher-clements/25770895", "description": "Christopher Clements has been a working artist for almost 20 years.
