BOOK THE COURSE

Drawing & Painting from Nature

with Chris Green

This class takes inspiration from the natural world. Following the example of artists from Durer to Hockney, we will draw and paint from a wide variety of subjects, perhaps something seasonal like a cutting of blossom or Autumn leaves, or a surprise like animal bones or bird’s feathers. Each week offers the chance to explore a different technique - you may find yourself dipping a home-made quill into iron gall ink, working wet-on-wet with water soluble crayon, or simply enjoying the versatility of pencil from 9H to 9B. All levels from beginners to experienced artists are welcome.
