Join us this Summer for a relaxed in-house workshop centred on creating depth, distance, and atmosphere in watercolour painting. Whether you're new to art or looking to strengthen your technique, this workshop helps you build confidence and develop core skills in a supportive setting.

We’ll start with drawing, using linear perspective to show depth and space. You'll learn to use line, tone, contrast, and composition to create dynamic, balanced drawings. Drawing provides structure and clarity before painting.

Next, we’ll move into painting with a limited watercolour palette, exploring how to create mood and depth through colour, light, and shadow. You’ll work in a loose, impressionist style, learning how to simplify scenes and suggest detail without overworking.

Working from photographic references, your tutor will guide you through each stage with live demonstrations, feedback, and time for personal exploration.

This hands-on, beginner-friendly workshop is also great for those with some experience seeking a more structured approach. By the end, you'll understand how to build a painting step by step—from strong drawing to an atmospheric watercolour.

All levels are welcome.

All art materials are provided by Green & Stone.

Join us this Summer for a workshop with Oscar Jin, where you will learn to capture the portrait at great speed using the fluid medium of oil paint.

Oscar will firstly demonstrate to all participants an efficient way to form the portrait through distinctions in value/tone and colour temperature, and

explain how to identify ‘anchor points’ (focal facial features that position the portrait in proportion).

With this simple theoretical background, attendants will jump into creating several 10 and 20 minute portraits in oils, working from the life model from different perspectives.

This challenging excersise employs both analytical and intuitive modes of thought, simultaneously putting the painter into a wonderful state of mental flow apt for creativity.Through repetition, painting and scrubbing away, this exercise helps bypass the creative block of perfectionism and promotes a faster feedback loop, key to developing the craft.

Expect to take home an expressive, not ‘photorealistic’, portrait that captures some of the essence of the sitter with brave, flowing brushwork.

All levels are welcome.

Artist and tutor Rachel Mercer is kindly offering a drawing workshop for x10 art students, on a first come first served basis. The 2.5 hour class is being offered at a vastly reduced rate of £15 per student. You will need to provide student ID on arrival to the workshop.

In the class we will use each other as models and consider ways to engage in the action and attitude of the sitter. Sitting opposite a partner makes the drawing experience up-close and person and less formal than working from a model. There will be exercises designed to improve skill and accuracy in drawing, helping us to capture essential likeness rather than detail. In the second half of the class participants will use their portrait drawings to create an imaginative composition using the street outside the gallery for inspiration.

This class will be an opportunity to paint beautiful and curious specimens from Rebecca & Sandy’s natural history collection, including exotic feathers and insects, pressed seaweeds, shells, skulls and seed pods.

Students will be using pencil and watercolour to recreate their own cabinet of curiosities on paper.
