Arboretum first ran at the beginning of 2023 and received incredible feedback. This course is offered a last time from 1 to 21 May.

Expand your creativity and develop a stronger sense of colour, pattern and form with this alternative drawing and painting course; based on the subject of trees.

It consists of fifteen projects designed to kickstart ideas and to promote original and imaginative thinking. Each project will incorporate my Creative Leap method of teaching where handwriting, numbers and symbols are used as anchor points for explorative drawings and expressive sketchbook projects.

During Arboretum, I’ll demonstrate ways to create stylised and imaginary forms by developing doodles, drawings and designs into more complex tree-focussed creations. There’s an emphasis on paint techniques and colour combinations. Arboretum is an ideal way to explore watercolour and mixed media and to expand knowledge useful for all art practices.

What you'll get:

• Three week-long modules each with four projects.
• A concluding assignment for each module.
• Over four hours of edited video tuition.
• Access to a private Facebook group.
