Studio Workshops
Ann teaches her own methods of working with pencil and coloured pencil to produce vibrant, detailed botanical drawings. As well as introducing colour pencil techniques the courses encourage accuracy of line and observation. Ann welcomes both the beginner and the more experienced on her courses. Courses tend to get booked up quickly so to secure a place make a provisional booking.
