Join a four-day course in the beautiful Georgian town of Holt, near the North Norfolk coast. Courses are held regularly throughout the year.
Do you tell yourself that you can’t draw? Does a blank sheet of paper fill you with dread? Overcome that fear. Join a course: Introduction to drawing and painting plants in watercolour. Highly suited to beginners or those with little experience; no previous drawing, painting or watercolour skills needed.
You will be surprised how much can be achieved during this intensive 4 day course. A non-competitive atmosphere is encouraged, and the small group size allows for plenty of individual guidance. The step-by-step tuition method encourages steady progress and builds confidence. Treat yourself! All materials are provided; you do not have to buy or bring any plants, paints, brushes or paper. A delicious light lunch each day is also included.
