Join artist Geoff Chilton for this full-day painting workshop

“Gardens and allotments are a treasure trove inspiration for artists. Join artist and tutor Geoff Chilton at the Globe Arts garden in this day-long workshop to explore the potential of this outdoor environment as a creative stimulus.

The first part of the day will be spent investigating the garden and nearby allotments, making sketches and drawings with different media. Geoff will guide you through the process of developing your own ‘vocabulary’ of marks to express what you see and feel.

There will be a short break, after which the sketches you made outside can be developed, in the studio or outside as you prefer, to produce a more considered piece. Here, Geoff will guide you through the compositional and tonal elements to improve your work, and show how the application of different media can add an extra dynamism.

This workshop is an exciting way to develop your personal expression through painting and drawing.

All materials will be provided for the workshop, but if you want to bring any of your own favourite paints and brushes, that’s fine. Similarly, if you have your own sketchbook and favourite pencils and want to work with them, that’s okay too.”

£75 per person or £130 for 2 when you book together (materials, tuition and refreshments included)

Please make sure to bring a packed lunch with you
