• INTRODUCTION TO TROMPE L’OEIL VICTORIAN PRESSED SEAWEED – BEGINNERS BOTANICAL COLOURED PENCIL DRAWING :: ONLINE COURSE

    £25.00

    With Linda Hampson Member of the SW Society of Botanical Artists

    For those of you unable to attend Linda's course in person we offer the option of joining us online. The 'Introduction to Trompe L'oeil - Victorian Collector's Pressed Seaweed'  course is a wonderful course for complete beginners or improvers who might want to learn more of the technique. You can be assured of an artwork to be proud of at the end of this lesson. A set of notes, guidance on paper and pencils to use and an instructional video for this course are all included. All you need is a small selection of Faber Castell Polychromos pencils, good quality drawing paper and a few pencil case items (you will be supplied with a detailed list on purchasing the course). We invite you to share your outcomes with Linda and of course be in touch if you have any concerns or need help by email for the duration of the course. Coloured pencil is a marvellously versatile medium and it is genuinely an easy medium to master when you have learned the basic techniques. Linda invites you to join her for a series of workshops specifically using Faber Castell Polychromos pencils. If you get hooked see our growing range of other ONLINE courses, or visit us in person for a course at The Old Kennels! Run Time: 1hr52mins
