I am developing a new series of workshops based around using a sketchbook, a visual diary. The first one will be on Saturday 4th September 2021 from 9.30 - 12.30 at the beautiful flower farm of www.helleboresandhedgerows.co.uk. Titled ' Harvest', it is aimed at all abilities. We will be looking at mark making and working from observation into a sketchbook (provided). There will be freshly cut flowers, seed heads and pumpkins, all the wonderful things that are available this

Well here we are at the beginning of another month and I've been thinking about what colour I could choose..... It's a difficult one. This month the garden has so much colour. It's a diamond of a month so I'm going with that..... ie...... a diamond is full of many colours. Is it a cop out? Possibly. But I'm going with it. Next month we will be back to a single colour...
