Trust the process, find fun and playful ways to express your ideas and capture the feeling of a place.

This workshop combines drawing, painting and connecting with your subject through writing to deepen your relationship with the landscape and find ways to bring a greater sense of place and meaning to your work.

You will work in a variety of media and Natalie will introduce you to process of monoprinting. Learn how a landscape can be captured through observation, memory and feeling. With time spent both outside in the landscape and in the studio you will work towards creating a series of intuitive pieces.

Natalie will be exploring the idea of working on maps and nautical charts in this workshop so if have a chosen landscape that you wish to explore, she invites you to bring in any maps that relate to that location.
