IBA Art Workshop
Natural Finds in Ink and Coloured Pencil

Workshops tutored by Iceni Botanical Artist Group members will run alongside the group’s exhibition ‘Fullers Mill Garden: A Jewel in the Forest’ at the Guildhall. For more information  about the exhibition, please click HERE  

***Suitable for all levels***

Workshop tutor Vicky Hallam is a botanical artist living and working in Cambridge, examples of her work can be seen on her website www.vickyhallamdesigns.com

A selection of natural finds, including shells, pine cones, feathers and seed heads, will be provided to draw on during this one-day course. We will practice observational drawing and learn ink techniques, including stippling. Coloured pencil techniques will be introduced including blending, layering and embossing to create a texture for feathers. Using tracing paper you will be able to plan your own composition and work on a finished drawing of your choice in a relaxed learning environment.
