Plein Air Painting – 11th & 12th July
By popular request we are offering another opportunity to paint and draw at magical locations in this area of outstanding natural beauty.
Depending on the weather, we will be visiting some beautiful local houses or gardens or concentrating on the picturesque grounds of Jessops Farm itself. The weekend will give you some experience in the pleasure of painting and drawing in the open air (plein air).
Cathy will be offering as much guidance as you feel you need.
