‘Natural Wonders’, Exploring nature for inspiration

Join me for this 6 week drawing and painting course, enjoying the natural world’s little wonders!

This term we are celebrating moving from Summer into Autumn with the common thread of nature as our inspiration running throughout. The colourful and imaginative course is designed for all levels, from beginners who need extra help and guidance, to enthusiasts who want a space to explore their skills.

Classes are taught in a relaxed and friendly way and the small class sizes mean everyone can be given one to one advice and help through out.

At the start of each week I will demonstrate the steps and technique to guide you through the weeks chosen theme. As well as continuing with Watercolours we will dive into fluid and flowing inks, gouache and creative mixed media.

Each lesson is sociable and rewarding giving you a chance to try out new techniques and further develop familiar ones.

All materials and refreshments are included.

Week 1: Colour Mixing

Learn how to use colour and how to combine colours using watercolours. Concentrating on colours that appear in nature. This will help to develop skills and give confidence in using colour, useful for the rest of the course!

Week 2: Memories of Summer

Still life painting of shells and objects found on the sea shore using watercolour and inky washes, using black inks, quink inks, in tonal shades to develop patterns and textures found in nature.

Week 3: Inky September Florals

We will paint seasonal flowers using joyfully bright and flowing inks. Picking out details with dip pens.

Week 4: Harvest Celebration

Still life fruit and vegetables in watercolours. Taking a closer look at beautiful seasonal fruits and vegetables, observing and painting the gorgeous natural colours and textures. The perfect chance to put to use the lessons learnt from colour mixing week!

Week 5: Tea Cup Florals

Painting flowers presented in beautifully patterned tea cups and vintage vases. A great way to experiment with colour and clashing patterns in mixed media

Week 6: Gouache Floral Silhouettes

Floral Silhouettes in mixed media. Starting off with a washy watercolour base of abstract patterns we will create a lively mixed media floral scene, painting floral silhouettes in Black and white gouache and highlighting with oil pastels.

Come along and spend time with fellow creatives in a relaxed and friendly environment where you can have fun learning new, artistic skills whilst developing your own personal creative style.

With two venues to choose from, I would love to see you there!
