New to watercolour and love nature?
Award-winning artist Shevaun Doherty combines her knowledge of pollinators and plants with her watercolour skills to create a unique workshop that will appeal to nature lovers of all ages and skills.
When we look closely at something, we begin to understand it, and when we understand it, we begin to appreciate it.  By drawing and painting bees, we can build up an understanding and appreciation for the important role that they play in pollinating our flowers.

This Introductory Art Workshop will cover drawing and the watercolour techniques needed for colour mixing, washes and glazes, and creating texture in paint.

Shevaun won 'Best in Show' for botanical Art, at both Bloom 2017, and 2018
