Art in the Garden: half-day painting and drawing workshop inside and out in the garden.
On this half-day drawing and painting course, Niki will guide you through observation techniques and drawing, sketching and watercolour methods including capturing perspective, creating depth and contrast, using colour wash and mark making. We’ll look at the joy of recreating our love of plants and gardens through art and of recording directly from nature.
Course taught indoors and out in a small group to ensure time for personal attention. We will work directly from life out in the beautiful Dilston Physic Garden where weather permits, with the comfort of a warm room to retreat to when necessary! Explore different materials including pencils and watercolours. The workshop will teach techniques and methods which will build confidence in working outdoors, directly observing from nature.
