About the course
Capture the beauty of autumn in this three-day course with botanical artist Janie Pirie. Crisp autumn leaves – rich in shades of yellow, orange, amber, red, brown and copper – offer wonderful opportunities to explore colour, form, and texture. You’ll study and draw dried leaves in detail, using coloured pencil to bring them to life. By the end of the course, you’ll have created a beautiful page of autumn leaves. Group demonstrations and individual tuition will be provided throughout.
Suitable for those wishing to improve their technique
