Late Summer Drawing Day

Enjoy a day of drawing and watercolour techniques, working mostly outside to capture the wealth of plant inspiration that the garden offers. After an introduction to the aims of the day, we will be painting in the garden, working on portable chairs and using large clipboards. You will have the opportunity to try a series of drawing studies with expert guidance from the tutor throughout the day.

The tuition takes you through a variety of drawing materials and techniques enabling you to explore the qualities of each medium and how it relates to the subject matter you are looking at. Once initial studies have been made, you will progress to a final drawing using watercolour wash.

Pete is a local artist and teacher who jointly runs Quay Drawing to encourage people to improve their observational skills and thereby improve their artwork.

If the weather makes it impossible to work outdoors, there is a good indoor space and plants to use as subjects for drawing.
