Join artist and teacher Beth Lenco for a relaxing afternoon of flower drawing and watercolour. This mini artist retreat is all about slowing down, enjoying the process, and

rediscovering the joy of seeing.

Beginners welcome.

In this 3 hour class you will learn:

A mindful and relaxing approach to drawing.
A deeper appreciation of colour and the simple beauty that is all around us. How to cultivate a consistent creative practice.
Techniques to improve your eye and drawing skills.

Supply list:

A medium sized mixed media sketch book of around 98lb paper weight. 8 x 10 or 5 x 8 is fine.

A few pencils and pens to draw with.

A set of watercolours in pans, or tubes with at least the 3 primaries. A white dish for mixing if you have tubes.

Two small containers for holding water.

A brush or two. Large for washes and smaller for flower details. Size 8 round with a pointed tip is an ideal medium sized brush and will work for all the exercises. Pentel water brushes also work well for this.

We will be working with seasonal flowers in small vases. Beth will provide a mix of flowers and small bud vases and jars but if you have something at home you would like to bring, please do.
