Spend a relaxing and mindful afternoon learning to paint feathers in watercolours. During this beginner-friendly workshop you will paint from live observation, with a fabulous selection of feathers from beautiful birds.

Using watercolours, your instructor will demonstrate a wet-on-wet technique for creating fluffy 'down' feathers, then provide step-by-step instruction on how you can achieve it yourself. We will then spend a bit more time creating a detailed study of a feather, with expert guidance.

Learn about nature. Understand the difference between a tail feather and a semiplume! Have fun and make art!
