About this Event

Composition – Finding Inspiration in Nature, is the second workshop in this four-part series. Designed to provide young creatives with a solid art foundation. This workshop is suitable for beginners, while also being comprehensive enough for experienced young artists. 

Join Xanthe Turner and Harlow Paton for an afternoon of outdoor sketching, with a focus on plein air composition. Through a guided nature walk and a series of targeted sketching challenges, you will learn:  

• How to identify suitable locations for plein air art 

• How to efficiently block in ephemeral scene elements 

• How to effectively emphasise elements of visual significance 

Please bring a hat and a bottle of water. All art materials will be supplied by the facilitators!  

 

Participation in all four workshops is not required, but it is strongly encouraged!
