Workshop drop!
Just a very quick email to let you know about some NEW dates in our teaching calendar and some last minute workshops and courses you won't want to miss out on. Let's get arty!
Coming up after Easter:
Weds 22nd April, 10-4 - Bluebell painting at Holyford Woods with Alex - £70 all materials plus sketchbook included.
The most beautiful time of year for these incredible flowers - why not spend a morning enjoying the carpet of blue, then the afternoon relaxing at Umborne Bridge Studio, turning your sketches into paintings?
Painting for relaxation and calm - 4 week EVENING course, 6.00pm - 8.30pm - £95 all materials included
A restful evening course for the late spring, no experience neccessary. We'll be doing an art mini-project each week, so you walk away with four completed works of art at the end.
Exclusively for our lovely mailing list folk, we are also offering first pick of the new courses Anna has scheduled for Summer and Autumn. These dates are not yet publicly available so to access them, please click on the links below - they'll go public to the rest of the world on Saturday!
NEW COURSE DATES
Summer flowers in mixed media – Weds 3rd June, 10-4 - £65
Alex is now offering 1–1 or small group art and nature journaling sessions in person or online.
These sessions are designed for complete beginners, artists looking to improve, professional artists wanting a fresh angle, and anyone in between. Each session is entirely guided by you and can include gentle instruction, discussion, idea-forming, exploring new mediums, or drawing specific subjects — whatever feels most helpful for where you’re at. You can even add a deluxe art kit add on, in which Alex will curate art materials for you to keep you nature journaling or sketching for longer after your session.
Phew, so much art tuition! We are really keen to help people on their journey to enjoying art so if you have any questions or want to discuss which course might be right for you, do send us a message - we're always happy to help out.
