🌷 What You Will Learn

Dive into the early bloomers—think Snowdrops, Daffodils, and Hellebores—harvested directly from the stunning Victorian Walled Gardens. Over two relaxed mornings, you will:

• Observe & Draw: Connect with your seasonal subject plants, learning the essential practice of close observation to capture true detail.
• Master Watercolour: Patricia will provide demonstrations and guided instruction on drawing, illustration, painting techniques, mounting, and framing.
• Create Your Own Study: End the workshop with your own original watercolour painting to take home.

Note: All materials are provided, and refreshments will be served. This is the first of four planned seasonal workshops throughout the year!
