The cost of the one day workshops is: £80.00 per person per day all the other details can be seen below.

Flexible hands on drawing workshops in comfortable surroundings with a maximum of 5 people, during which you will be able to experiment and develop your skills in using coloured pencils to draw realistic animal eyes, fur, feathers and skin depending which workshop you choose.

You will learn the layering techniques involved in using coloured pencils, which can be adapted in your own drawings to the level of detail and colour that you want to achieve.
I will demonstrate and teach you the techniques I use and you will be provided with pre-outlined paper to practise the techniques yourself with my guidance. 

(If you are working on a current picture please bring it along and I will be happy to advise you)

 My workshops are suitable for all levels of drawing ability/experience whether you are a complete beginner just starting to draw or you are already drawing but would like to take your art one step further. My workshops are also ideal for those who would like to try a different medium along with others in a supportive, friendly and relaxed atmosphere.  

 You do not need to buy Faber-Castell watercolour pencils especially for the workshop, as you will be given a set of colours you will be using for the workshop which are then yours to keep. All the paper needed is provided, along with a sketch board to work on. 

Each workshop will commence promptly at 10:00am so please arrive by 9:30am for tea/coffee and biscuits before the workshop starts so you can meet the other students. A lunch of delicious sandwiches, rolls and dessert is included and tea/coffee and biscuits will also be provided during the day.
(Please let me know in advance if you require a vegetarian option)
Each day will finish at 5:00 pm.
