Wildlife in Watercolour

Join me for a day of painting simple and expressive watercolour animals.  ​​​​

​Similar to a previous workshop on painting birds in a simple and expressive way, we will be looking at the same but with wildlife.

I will show you a variety of fun ways to paint wildlife; including smaller pieces showing small groups of animals in a setting, how to capture movement and also closeups of faces (animal portraits) - all approached in a simple, loose and expressive way.

The general format of the day will be quick demos from myself, followed by attendees guided painting,

We will be working small, and with simple, relatively quick techniques, so my hope is we will get through a good number of paintings within the the day (I would guess at least 3 or 4!)

​Follow my demos, bring your own photos, or a mixture of both.

PARKING (full directions & info will be sent out in advance)

  • Church House is on a pedestrianised street just off the hight street. 
  • It does not have it's own parking. There is sometimes parking space by the town hall (less than a minute walk)
  • A small free car park at the bottom of the road ( a few minutes walk)
  • Park next to Waitrose (a four minute walk)
  • It is sometimes possible to park near the venue to quickly unload and then drive to parking.

DISABILITY ACCESS

The entry to Church House Main Hall is on street level, accessed of a Pedestrianised Street (Butter Street), so wheelchair access is fine.​

​There is a disable toilet which can be accessed via a private alleyway down the side of the building. This does not take any extra time than going through the hall but avoids a small set of steps.

The Kitchen is right by the main hall, with direct access down the small steps. However, Wheel chair access, whilst a little tight, is possible by going down the alleyway and back into the building from the rear (this is all within a relatively small distance); but of course, I am more than happy for those that need it, to make hot drinks and empty / fill up water pots etc.
