Saturday 22nd August  
10.15-3.15pm
Join this one day workshop with artist and life model Emma immersed in my blooming beautiful August garden, offering you a rich visual feast to inspire and draw or paint from. Capture joyous Daisies, zinnias, nasturtium, marigold, cornflower and poppies all towering and exploding around the sitter. 
How do we capture setting—and what does it add to atmosphere, emotion, and the presence of the sitter? What story does a scene like this tell? And how do we approach it?
Join artist Jennifer Robson for a day of drawing, painting, and interpreting your own portrait from a live sitter, set in the lush summer growth. 
Capture the presence of a human bean in the bonnie bright daylight, surrounded by nature.
This super-friendly, welcoming class is set in my lovely garden (weather permitting!). Bring your own materials and work in whatever medium you fancy—oils, acrylics, watercolour, charcoal, or pastels. Basic materials are provided, and paper will be available to buy.
You can explore independently or be guided through the process with thorough, knowledgeable demonstrations from me, your tutor.
I have a wealth of experience teaching and sharing the practice of life drawing and portraiture. I adore nature and love being in it—drawing, gardening, and now combining both passions by bringing the body and the landscape together in my modest garden this summer.
This is a rare opportunity to spend a full day making a portrait en plein air.
Suitable for everyone—from complete beginners (even if you’re nervous but want to try), to intermediates refining their style, to seasoned artists doing their own thing in good company.
Please note: This workshop is weather dependent. If Scottish weather has its way and we can’t be outside, we’ll move into the studio—and bring the nature indoors with the sitter! If it’s truly diabolical, the class will be postponed.
Fingers crossed for sunshine!
