Getting to Grips with Garden Painting

Capture the beauty of the garden in paint - with clarity, confidence, and creativity. We’re a nation of garden lovers so it’s no surprise that many of us feel the urge to paint them. But translating the richness of a garden onto paper can be tricky. Where do you begin? How do you make all that foliage readable rather than a green blur? In this friendly, hands-on workshop, you’ll learn how to break down the complexity of the garden into shapes, textures, and layers that make visual sense. Whether you choose to work in watercolour or gouache (or even combine the two), you'll discover techniques for representing plant forms, depth, and variety - without getting overwhelmed by the detail. Your tutor, Jason, has spent years painting gardens and will share his practical insights, favourite approaches, and tips to help your work feel lively, clear, and satisfying. Whether you're just getting started or looking to sharpen your skills, this is your chance to explore the art of garden painting in a relaxed, encouraging environment.
