Be guided step by step to create your own beautiful Alpine Meadow canvas, inspired by the soft, layered landscapes and wildflower colours of the Swiss Alps.

Working with rich acrylics on canvas, you’ll build the painting gradually, from the misty mountain backdrop through to the meadow foreground, using beautiful tones of cornflower blue, periwinkle, lavender, violet, soft sage and touches of buttercup yellow. Inspired by alpine blooms such as cornflowers, harebells and meadow wildflowers, this is a gorgeous piece to paint and a relaxing one to lose yourself in.

🎨 Fully guided – no drawing required
✨ Absolutely suitable for beginners
🖌 All materials provided

Led by Julia Pendlebury, a registered and highly experienced Art & Design teacher, you’ll be supported throughout and shown each stage clearly, so you can enjoy the process and leave with a finished canvas to feel proud of.
