BOTANICAL & NATURAL HISTORY COLOURED PENCIL DRAWING :: IN-PERSON COURSES 2026

Price range: £65.00 through £220.00

Available!

With Linda Hampson

Coloured pencil is a marvellously versatile medium. We will work with Faber Castell Polychromos pencils. You will learn how to layer and blend and various other ‘tricks’ and techniques. Beginners and improvers are welcome. It is genuinely an easy medium to master and so I invite you to join me for a series of workshops either ‘ONLINE’ or ‘IN PERSON’ or mix and match so you can enjoy a tutorial every month of the year!

5% of our ‘Devon Wildlife Series’ online course fees will go to Devon Wildlife Trust to helping their work to enhance and conserve our precious landscape & environment.

Each course has a detailed requirements list so you know if there is anything in particular you will need to bring or wear. We try and keep this minimal and supply most of what you need, but we know that people also like to bring their own ‘kit’ if they have it. Please ensure you read your list carefully and do ask if there is anything that isn’t clear!

We also offer 4* B&B accommodation please enquire or see our course accommodation page full details – it is worth noting that during course times we only have attendees staying here so our accommodation is not available through the usual online system.

Printable directions and Google Map links to help you find The Old Kennels can be found on our  ‘How to Find Us’ page (sat nav will not bring you to the door as being rural the postcode area is quite large).
