Seascape in Acrylic

Explore the colour, movement and atmosphere of the Arabian Gulf in this two-day seascape painting workshop led by Emirati artist Faris Hamadi. Inspired by the UAE’s coastal landscapes, participants will learn how to capture shifting skies, reflective waters and the meeting point between sea and shore.
Across two sessions, Faris will guide participants through the process of developing a seascape painting from its initial composition to the final details. Participants will explore colour mixing, light, depth and expressive brushwork, gradually building their paintings through layers to create a sense of movement and atmosphere.
Drawing inspiration from the changing character of the Gulf, each participant will develop a personal interpretation of the UAE’s natural coastal beauty.
