Peter James. Abstract Landscape with repeat Pattern.

Peter James.
Abstract Landscape with repeat pattern
20th August 2026.
In this workshop we will explore the use of pattern/repeat mark making to create abstract landscapes from the imagination or source material. Vibrant works of art can be created that catch the eye.
Workshop summary:
• Demonstrate how to break down a source photograph to create an abstract composition.
• Show examples of how a sketchbook can be a catalyst for experimentation in technique and design and a valuable source of material for the future.
• Discuss different media choices including pens, markers, water colour and acrylic paint.
• Create a page of different repeat patterns that can be referenced in a final composition.
• Create simple thumbnail sketches of compositions from the imagination and use one to create a small design.
• Use different line thickness to make an artwork bold and with depth.
• Demonstrate the use of colour and how this can be applied to a composition with water colour and markers
In the afternoon we shall be working on a final picture using the ideas and techniques gained in the morning session. Individual guidance will be available to those that need it. This is the start of a journey into a different approach to traditional landscape art.
