En Plein Air at Mulberry Hill

Facilitated by passionate local artist Katrina Pullin, this five-class series invites you to develop your skills while drawing inspiration from the landscapes and light of the Mornington Peninsula.

Your experience begins with a guided tour of the Lindsay home, including Daryl’s original studio. From there, Katrina will lead outdoor oil painting demonstrations, offering practical guidance for beginners and thoughtful encouragement for those with more experience.

What You’ll Explore

• Traditional country landscapes and gardenscapes capturing light, shadow, tone, colour and perspective
• Still life inspired by flowers from the gardens at Mulberry Hill
• Interior scenes
• Postcard-sized en plein air oil paintings for travel

Class numbers are capped at 10 participants to ensure personalised instruction and a supportive creative environment. Classes are designed for oil painting as a medium, but acrylic painters are welcome too

Taking inspiration from the artistic legacy of Mulberry Hill, this workshop connects past and present — bringing contemporary artists into dialogue with the landscapes that shaped Daryl Lindsay’s practice.
