Join artist Nicola Wiltshire for a playful day of painting and drawing.
Aimed at both beginners and those looking to shake things up a bit, this workshop will give you a taster of different materials and ways to apply them.
The day will start with a series of timed drawings, leading up to a longer mixed-media painting on canvas in the afternoon. By the end of the workshop, you will have experimented with a variety of wet and dry materials, including soft pastels, coloured pencils, collage and acrylic paint.
The workshop is an introduction to ways pattern, texture colour, line, form and composition can strengthen your painting, giving you a springboard for your own creative journey.
