Introduction to Green Sketching workshops
Are you looking for a new creative hobby? Or would you just like to spend a bit more time enjoying the beautiful nature we have on our doorsteps here in North Northumberland and the Scottish Borders?
My Introduction to Green Sketching workshops are designed for absolute beginners – no artistic skills needed, just an open mind and a willingness to slow down and observe.
In a 2-hour in-person workshop, you’ll:
Learn simple, stress-free sketching techniques
Discover how to really see nature through drawing
Enjoy time outdoors, away from screens, focusing on creativity & relaxation
These workshops are priced at £35pp and all materials are provided. Depending on the location, we'll either start indoors and then move outside, or spend the whole session outdoors.
I’ve written some introductory tips for budding Green Sketchers in my blog post Discovering Green Sketching: Connecting with Nature through Art and Creativity. This post also goes into more detail about what Green Sketching is, how it can benefit you and some tips for getting started yourself.
Or you might like to have a quick read of my post Behind the scenes on one of my Green Sketching workshops, for a bit more about what to expect.
