With Linda Hampson web
For those of you unable to attend Linda’s course in person we offer the option of joining us online!
With our monthly subscription option you will be sent a new tutorial each month for the whole year, building your skills and repertoire across the spectrum of botanical and natural history coloured pencil drawing.
Each tutorial will focus on our beautiful Devon Wildlife and for every course purchased 5% will be donated to Devon Wildlife Trust helping their work to enhance and conserve our precious landscape and wildlife.
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. You will learn how to layer and blend and various other ‘tricks’ and techniques from flowers to fur.
If you have never put pencil to paper and want to try our six-part absolute beginners course first it can be found here.Or if you would like to try the first three sessions (Spring) before upgrading to the whole year, please select ‘three month trial’ at check out.
You will be sent a set of notes and an instructional video for each of the courses. All you need is your Faber Castell Polychromos pencils, drawing paper and a few pencil case items (you will be sent a detailed list when you subscribe).
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.
Beginners and improvers are most welcome.
