What do I need?
Just a pencil, pen, watercolours (if you like!), and your favourite sketchbook. You don’t need to be “good at drawing”—you just need to begin. There's lots of advice and information on materials in the first section of the workshop and, as always, I will be cheering you on from the sidelines!
A Note from Lucia
I created this course to share the real joy I’ve found in sketching my garden. It's helped me slow down, pay attention, and feel more connected to the seasons, nature, and myself.
But it wasn't easy, I found it really hard to get started even though I'm an experienced sketcher, I was wasn't sure where to begin in such a busy, beautiful environment! Over time, I've developed some handy methods, good reliable recipes for sketching busier scenes and I'm delighted to share these with you.
My hope is that it offers you a calm, creative approach and all the mindful benefits that come with sketching outside.
Let’s sketch together, one tiny detail at a time!
'I just wanted to say how much I'm enjoying your wonderful Sketch your Garden Workshop. I love the techniques you use to capture everything in such a simple and effective way - it takes the pressure off having to 'draw' everything. They are also a great lesson in trusting the process, which I have a real issue with!' -Val
