Taking place on Saturday 7 November, the workshop is led by talented local botanical artist Alison Walker, a member of the Irish Society of Botanical Artists.

Inspired by the garden’s fading blooms, seed heads and autumn foliage, participants will learn how to observe plants closely and capture their structure, detail and character using pencil and watercolour.

Throughout the day, Alison will guide you through:

Careful observation techniques
Botanical drawing methods
Pencil sketching
Watercolour application
Capturing seasonal flowers, foliage and seed heads
Creating a finished botanical study inspired by the garden
The workshop is suitable for complete beginners as well as those looking to develop their existing painting skills.

Tickets

If weather conditions allow, part of the workshop may take place outdoors in the marquee, so participants should dress appropriately for the season.
