The heritage gardens at Highwic offer a vivid tapestry of seasonal colour as inspiration – from the formality of its sweeping lawns to the intimacy of its flower beds and orchard.
The class will take place in the atmospheric Billiard House, and in the gardens. Each session blends artistic technique with mindful observations, linking the botanical past and present through creative practice.
The six-week course covers:
• Nature journaling and observational techniques
• Successful drawing strategy
• Smarter colour mixing
• Mastering watercolour techniques
• Creativity and finding your artistic confidence
To see more of Jennifers work see her Instagram page www.instagram.com...
Students will supply their own materials (a list of what is required will be supplied before the class starts).
Places are limited and bookings essential.

Join archaeologist Caroline Phillips for an afternoon at Highwic to view some of these artefacts, learn more about what has been found, and what has not been found. This will be an informal talk, a walk around the site, and an opportunity to view the artefacts.
