Oil Painting with Palette Knife | Landscapes

Experience the beauty of Scotland’s landscapes through bold, textured oil painting in this expressive palette knife workshop led by artist Charlotte Strawbridge. Inspired by changing seasons, shifting light, and the atmosphere of the natural world, this workshop invites you to paint landscapes with freedom, confidence, and imagination.

Based in Killearn, this workshop is conveniently located for visitors travelling from Glasgow, Stirling, Edinburgh, and Helensburgh, making it a wonderful creative day out in the heart of Scotland.

Using palette knives alongside traditional brushes where helpful, you will learn how to simplify landscapes into colour, shape, and movement before building expressive layers of paint. Through demonstrations and guided exercises, you’ll explore how texture and bold mark-making can bring atmosphere and emotion to your work.

You will learn:

• How to use palette knives to suggest trees, grasses, skies, and natural forms
• How to compose an engaging landscape painting
• How to create depth, distance, and atmosphere through colour and texture
• How to work confidently with wet-on-wet oil painting techniques
• How to create an expressive landscape inspired by your own response to nature

Charlotte will guide you through each stage of the painting while encouraging experimentation, helping you discover techniques that suit your own style and way of working.

This landscape oil painting workshop in Scotland is suitable for complete beginners as well as artists wishing to develop a looser, more expressive approach to painting.
