As the seasons shift, we’re delighted to welcome back local artist and tutor Julia Fonnereau for another inspiring Tuesday evening art course at Southern Maltings.
This four-week short course celebrates the vibrant renewal of Spring, with themes drawn from fresh blooms, budding branches, and the soft palette of the season.
We’ll begin by crafting our own concertina sketchbooks, then fill them with observational drawings inspired by nature’s awakening.
Each week introduces new materials and techniques to help your sketchbook flow with creativity and cohesion. Expect to draw locally sourced, in-season subjects such as spring flowers, blossom, bulbs, young leaves, and emerging wildlife.
Whether you’re new to sketching or looking to deepen your practice, this joyful and seasonal course offers a relaxed and welcoming space to explore, learn, and create.
This gorgeous seasonal 4 week course, is suitable for all to have some fun whilst learning and drawing.
