Sketching spring’s abundance’ with Anna Ribo

Friday 23rd May 2025 | 10:30am - 4:00pm

Sketching spring’s abundance’ with Anna Ribo

  Take a moment to enjoy spring’s flowers through sketching’ .

Take a moment to enjoy and observe nature in the beautiful surroundings of Sussex Prairies wild. We look at how plants and flowers are put together and translate the shapes and character into sketches. Through simple, accessible techniques and exercises, we will explore ways for you to improve your sketching skills. There is no need to have prior drawing skills, the course is more about enjoying the process and the calm of observing and engaging with nature than producing a masterpiece.  Sketching is a great way to switch off from a busy lifestyle.

There will be an assortment of pencils and fine liners available to use on the course. Please bring a hardback sketchbook.  Tea and coffee will be provided but please bring a packed lunch.

Price £85
