Aimed at those with a passion for plants and a love of nature, this weekend workshop explores a range of ways to illustrate, represent, and celebrate selected autumnal plant life.

Working from real-life specimens, this short course will not only help to develop your observation skills, but will also introduce new ways of looking, seeing and mark making.

Group activities on day one will examine some simple drawing and dry media techniques before gently moving into wet media, suggesting a range of methods to add abstraction, expression and feeling into your making.

Armed with lots of techniques and inspiration, students will work towards the completion of a more self-directed, nature-inspired project on day two using their own chosen media and working from their own specimens if desired.
