Learn how to develop a range of drawing techniques and create new compositions inspired by the seasonal colours and landscape of the Chatsworth Garden.

About the workshop

In this workshop, you will be given the opportunity to 'get to know' your drawing tools and learn and develop effective observation techniques to apply on location studies. With an experienced tutor, you'll explore different areas of the garden to carry out observational drawings of seasonal flora and fauna, exploring their colour, shape and tone. 

No previous drawing experience is required - our experienced tutor will carefully guide you through each stage of the process and will be on hand throughout the day, to encourage you along and answer your questions

In the garden art studio, you will have access to more plants grown at Chatsworth, and will learn how to develop your observational studies to create a series of images.

Your ticket includes entry to the Chatsworth Garden after the workshop.
