What's on in East Buckland

Devon, England

Share:

East Buckland in Devon is a quiet corner of the countryside where the local calendar keeps things moving without needing a megaphone. You might find yourself wandering past a village hall for a drop-in session or stopping by a community centre to see if anyone needs a hand with some gardening projects. It is a place where neighbours chat over fences and the schedule fills up naturally. There are no big crowds here, just steady gatherings that keep the local spirit alive. The town manages to feel full of life even when the weather turns grey and you decide to stay inside for a while. Near Here keeps track of what is on so you do not have to ask round the village if anyone is planning a get-together this weekend.

Flowers in Watercolour and Coloured w/s Pencil - Inspired by Charles Rennie Mackintosh (One Day Workshop)

Flowers in Watercolour and Coloured w/s Pencil - Inspired by Charles Rennie Mackintosh (One Day Workshop)

Inspired by Rennie Mackintosh’s work the course aims to focus on composition by drawing free, loose line to ‘dip and draw’ with water soluble coloured pencils and delicate watercolour washes. Exercises to guide your hand and eye into creating this will produce a series of beautiful well designed paintings and drawings where space, transparent colour and light delight the well composed flower designs. You will learn a lot about watercolour pigment strength and brush control. Bring a small arrangement of flowers and jug. Watercolours, saucer and a few w/s pencils and watercolour pad. www.sallyfisher.net Instagram – sallyfisherart
