‘Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.’ Albert Einstein

Our Hedgerows, woodlands, fields and gardens are stirring with new plant life. This one day course will provide tools in investigative drawing and painting.

A multi-sensory approach will create a dynamic course, in which the participant will experiment with observation, mark-making and colour exploration.

This workshop will cover:

  • Observational and measured drawing
  • Exploring light and tone to create form
  • Colour mixing and matching
  • Wet and dry watercolour techniques

All Materials will be provided.

If you need any further information, please call 056 7761106
