In this Summer inspired workshop we'll delve into the textures and colours of the garden in full bloom. Spending a gentle afternoon drawing on the lawn, we'll begin by learning some loose sketching techniques in pencil. We'll then refine our drawings in fine-liner, adding dotting, line and shadow work to bring our outline sketches to life.

The afternoon will be broken into two workshops, with a break for tea, locally roasted coffee and scrumptious homemade cakes midway through (vegan option available).

See you in the meadow this summer, when the fields are in full bloom, for a beautiful botanically-inspired workshop suitable for beginners. Ellie will share some gentle & soothing techniques for painting seasonal herbs and native wildflowers in vibrant watercolours. You’ll learn how to use a range of brushes to capture wild stems, leaves and blooms.

All materials, freshly brewed tea and coffee and a delicious light lunch are included in this seasonal workshop.

Take a walk on the wild side, as we introduce you to the hidden delights of nature’s spring larder. We’ll start the day with a wild tea, before we head on a walk through fields, woodlands and along tracks, with a syllabus built around what is not just seasonally available, but delicious too!

In this first, spring inspired workshop we'll delve into the textures and colours of the garden in bloom. Beginning with some loosening up exercises 'taking a line for a walk' -  we'll learn how to sketch and then refine our drawings with a fine-liner - adding dotting, mark-making and strengthening our outlines to bring our sketches to life.  At the end of the workshop we'll add vibrancy and movement to our drawings, adding a splash of artist quality watercolours to our designs.
