There is much inspiration to be found in the woods. 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 creating a sketch-book and recording directly from nature.

Course taught indoors and out in a small group, maximum of 8 people, to ensure time for personal attention. We will work directly from life in Broomley woods where weather permits, with the comfort of a warm room to retreat to when necessary! Explore different materials including pencils, charcoal, inks and watercolours. The workshop will teach techniques and methods which will build confidence in working outdoors, directly observing from nature.
