Join me on this extra special ALL NEW 3 day workshop, surrounded by the inspiring dramatic scenery and coastline of Arran. It really is Scotland in Miniature.

This workshop is about allowing yourself to relax and enjoy sketching and painting outdoors - not from photos, not from memory - but right there IN the moment, IN the environment, IN the elements. There really is NOTHING quite like it!

We'll be kicking off on big sheets of paper, mixed media and charcoal - moving from there into sketchbooks - and finally working on a series of paintings EN PLEIN AIR and in the studio.

You'll get to enjoy TWO locations - both are wonderfully inspiring in any weather:

Kildonan Shore, based in the Kildonan Village Hall
Friday 30th - Saturday 31st May, 10.30am - 3.30pm each day

Corrie Village, based in the Corrie Village Hall
Sunday 1st June, 10.30am - 3.30pm

What's included:

  • Sketchbook
  • Large sheet paper & charcoal
  • Tea/coffee, treats
  • Loads of demos and one-to-one guidance throughout the weekend

This workshop is NOT suitable for total beginners.

You're welcome to work in any medium you enjoy - even a few different mediums. I'll be demoing in charcoal, mixed media, sticks & ink, oil pastels and water-based oils.
