This four-hour session provides you with an opportunity to increase your observation and grow your artistic confidence working quickly and responding to the ever changing light and natural elements.
Jeremy will start with an hour-long demonstration painting in oils, discussing his techniques and the tools needed to paint outdoors in whatever medium of choice. Then it’s your chance to get painting with Jeremy on-hand to help and guide you.

You will need to provide and use your own materials for this session, whether a simple classic sketchbook or a full-on artist’s pochade.
Jeremy will also provide a few extra boards should you want to try your hand at oils on his easel.
This is a small group session, limited to just 15 participants.
Sancreed Beacon is one of 20 sites cared for by Cornwall Heritage Trust and offers both a spectacular view across Mounts Bay and a wide variety of flora, fauna and historic remains. A perfect setting for an en plein air session.
What to bring:
- All equipment and materials that you wish to use during the workshop, from a sketchbook to an easel.
- Something to sit on – a fold up chair, or rug, or cushion. Whatever you will be comfortable using whilst creating. Please remember the ground and weather may be damp, wet or muddy.
- No refreshments will be provided, so please bring along any drinks or snacks you may want or need.
Please note:
- This event takes place entirely outdoors and involves some walking on Sancreed Beacon which has uneven ground and a slight incline.
- Please wear footwear suitable for walking and dress appropriately for the weather conditions on the day.
- Composting toilet facilities available on site.
This event is in aid of Cornwall Heritage Trust – the independent charity protecting Cornwall’s heritage for everyone.
