Cath Rolinson - Fine Art
Shorlisted for Visual Artists Association ART100
I am so happy to have been shortlisted for Visual Artists Association ART100.
As well as this selection process achievement I will be taking part in 3 group accountability sessions and the accelerator bootcamp masterclass given to each shortlisted artist. I have already found the VAA activities very useful and can't wait to take part.

PAPPLEWICK PUMPING STATION Acrylic Workshop
Wednesday 7 October 2026
I will be doing an acrylic workshop, inspired by Canadian Artist Tom Thomson. This workshop is indoors, overlooking the stunning cooling pond and fountain at Papplewick Pumping Station. All workshop materials will be provided. There is accessible access.
It is suitable for all levels of experience as step by step guidance is given, with experimentation encouraged for more expert painters.
I have many years of experience using acrylic paint to produce a wide range of subjects including portraits and landscapes.
Topics covered will include layering and using a limited colour palette, tips and techniques including stopping it drying too quickly and blending.
Light refreshments are available to purchase from the cafe and an optional self-guided tour of the engine house costs a small additional fee on the day. Entrance to the grounds and parking is free.
These workshops are aimed at adults, 12 plus are welcome if accompanied by an adult.
Please book in advance to make sure that I have enough equipment and paints.
