Weekend Cost – Only open to members £80
A weekend workshop by renowned artist Brigid
Collins, from Edinburgh
Observing plant forms closely, by drawing, line, tone,
and composition, moving on to watercolour. Creating
expressive work rather than analytical ‘botanical’
studies en-plein air (weather permitting) and in the
studio.
This very special workshop aims to create an individual
body of drawn and painted (and perhaps written)
studies and help you develop and deepen ways of
looking, seeing, interpreting and reflecting on the
experience of being with and learning from plants.
The workshop will assist you in deepening your creative
and emotional interconnectedness with a sense of what
is both personal and universal.
