Join us at Farleys for our popular Autumn Sketching Workshop, with painting being added for 2026!
A workshop suitable for beginners and experienced artists. Improve your observational and creative skills by sketching and painting foliage and seed heads in the inspiring sculpture garden at Farleys House and Gallery assisted by experienced tutor Gilly Lovegrove:
"The sculpture garden's autumn foliage and seed heads are our inspiration for this autumn's painting workshop. We take a look at botanical artists from art history to enliven our imagination. With an emphasis on observational drawing, we look at shape, texture and colour; studying seed head formations, leaf, fern and grass flower heads - developing our awareness and bringing our drawing to life".
There will be a demonstration on sketching seed heads and painting in two colours - discovering contrast, tone and colour in the autumn garden. Whether you're new to botanical art or looking to develop your skills, Gilly's expert guidance will help develop the confidence to produce colourful creative compositions inspired by the burst of autumn colour in the garden.
