About this course

In this last outdoor drawing day of the year we will explore how to capture a dramatic landscape with gestural and joyous mark making. Good drawing comes from good observation. When we really look and translate those observations through drawing to paper we gain unique insight and become truly connected to our surroundings.

All materials and vegetarian lunch, tea & biscuits included

Join us for the last outdoor workshop of 2026. Working in sketch books we will explore techniques that help us be more selective with what we choose to draw and in doing so make work that is more of a personal responsive to the environment and less a photographic representation.
We will explore gestural mark making using thick charcoal and black ink, drawing with sticks as well as brushes.
At the end of the day you will have a full drawing book with lots of ideas to take forward and include in your own practice
