Art Courses in Waterford:

Paint the Copper Coast with Patrick Palmer (5 days):
Patrick will bring the participants of this course to some of his favourite locations along the Copper Coast to capture the Land, Sea and Sky in oil paint on canvas or wood panel. From the dramatic cliffs above Kilmurrin cove to the fishing harbour of Dunabrattin, this is an area of spectacular natural beauty. This traditional method of painting is called En Plein Air, a French expression which means “in the open air”, and is particularly used to describe the act of painting outdoors. 

This course offers an exciting opportunity to paint the wonderful light and magical colours of the Irish landscape. Patrick’s experience and positive energy will encourage and inspire all who work with him! The course is best suited for people with some experience of painting. Patrick will adapt the course to suit each person’s ability. The class size will be small so you are sure of individual attention.

Preliminary sketches will be done in pencil, watercolour, acrylic or oil. The scene will be photographed by each student to record the light, colour and detail. These images will be useful for later reference when you work indoors at The Art Hand to finish the paintings. The weather here can also be quite unpredictable so you will need to be prepared to dash indoors!

Patrick will then show you how to transfer your sketches to your canvas or wood panel upon which the paintings will be completed. Patrick is an oil painter and all of these paintings will be done in oil. He will encourage you by advising on the composition and painting techniques so that you will bring home something to be proud of.

The cost for the course is €495 which includes evening meals. Accommodation is not included but can be arranged at a nearby house. Numbers are limited so booking is essential.
