Summer Workshops

I like to offer the experience of a creative treat day, just bring yourself, and all materials are provided, including cake! There will be instruction sheets to keep and the workshop will include time for framing your finished painting. You’ll take home your picture, ready to hang on the wall or give as a special present and, hopefully, the confidence and inspiration to continue to enjoy painting and drawing.

2018 will be the third year of Summer Watercolour Workshops here at Golden Valley Cottage in the Forest of Dean. Each summer workshop focuses on a different still life subject, whilst using the same simple watercolour technique, broken down into stages.

The workshops are held in my studio in the garden, only big enough for four people at a time, so ensuring lots of attention.

The day has plenty of tea and coffee breaks, with home baked cakes, and a delicious vegetarian lunch, including bread from Nigel’s wood fired oven and fresh salad from our own polytunnels. We can cater for gluten free and vegan too. We hope the sun will shine, for lunch in the cottage garden, but on rainy days we’ll retreat to the cosy kitchen.
