Description

Join me for a relaxed day of painting directly from nature on Hampstead Heath.

This workshop is designed for anyone interested in working outdoors with watercolour, whether you are completely new to painting or looking to deepen your practice.

I will begin with a short demonstration covering key ideas such as composition, tone, edges, and colour. We will then spend the day painting from observation, using the surrounding landscape as our subject.

Throughout the session I offer individual guidance and feedback, helping each participant develop their own approach to painting outdoors.

We meet outside Hampstead Underground Station at 9:50am before walking together to the painting location.
