10:00 - 16:00

In this session, we will take our inspiration from the abundance of autumn fruits, creating lovely illustrative images of brambles, berries and more. There will be colour mixing demos to capture the rich hues of an autumn palette and some simple layering techniques using watercolour or gouache. We’ll add in detail with line-work using dip pens and coloured pencil, a little bit of collage to add another element of interest, and of course, a smattering of spattering!

This is a fun illustrative approach and there will be templates provided for those who would like to use one - or you can work from your own sketches or photos instead. Follow along step-by-step or use your own creative freedom to incorporate the materials and methods Karen demonstrates - the choice is completely yours.
