• A unique portable ‘nature table’ collection to work from
  • A series of warm-up drawing exercises at the start of each class
  • Watercolour painting techniques for botanical and natural history specimens
  • Drawing tutorials using dip-pen and ink
  • Careful observational drawing tuition
  • Participants are encouraged to develop their own drawing styles
  • Mixed ability classes – we welcome all levels of experience and allow for individuals to work at their own pace
  • Small class sizes mean that we can spend time with each student and guide them through the learning process.
  • We have worked hard to develop a core of topics that help the student build on their strengths and mean that different courses can be taken at different times and still accumulate the skills needed.
  • Detailed worksheets for each class, designed to be referred to long after the class and act as an ‘aide memoire’
