Painter Nick Tearle holds a pop-up residency at the Usher Gallery, painting a fenland landscape and talking with visitors as part of the Lincolnshire Artists Society show.
Nick Tearle is taking up residency at the Usher Gallery on Saturday 12 December, as part of the Lincolnshire Artists Society's annual show. He's a painter known for his fenland landscapes, and for the day he'll be working on one of those signature scenes right there in the gallery.
It's a plein air approach, which is usually an outdoor thing, but he'll be doing it inside from reference material, with his full plein air setup on the go. He works in acrylics, and the whole process happens in front of you, so you can see how a painting actually comes together rather than just seeing the finished thing on a wall. While he works, he'll be chatting with visitors and showing more examples of his work and how he goes about it, so it's as much about the conversation as it is about the painting.
The residency is one part of the wider LAS Show 2026, which brings together the society's artists under one roof at the Usher Gallery. It's a good chance to meet them in person and see their creative process in action, with Tearle's session being one of the highlights. If you've ever wondered how a landscape goes from a sketch to a finished piece, this is a decent way to see it happen in real time.
