Class Details
From Garden to Studio: An 8-Week Drawing and Painting Journey Immerse yourself in the beauty of nature with this 8-week course that combines outdoor sketching and studio painting. We’ll be visiting two inspiring garden venues; the Inch Nursery brimming with plants and its delightful outdoor and indoor spaces to explore; and the more intimate, lush community gardens near Birchwood. The aim is to capture the essence of these two venues through observational drawing with guidance on transforming initial sketches into expressive works of art. In the gardens themselves, students will work on capturing key elements like shapes, light, and shadow, while in the studio, these studies will evolve into vibrant paintings. By the end of the course, students will have gained confidence in translating outdoor inspiration into finished paintings, as well as a deeper appreciation for the art of observation. All materials and refreshments are included in the course fee. Image courtesy of Fiona Dawe.
