This year I've moved my popular Springtime Sketchbook weekend from April to early May, in the hope that the weather will be a little warmer than the last couple of years. As in 2009, the venue will be the picturesque village of Ringstead, just inland of the West Norfolk coast. Based in the village hall in the centre of the village, and using the popular medium of pen and wash, this weekend workshop will focus on capturing the essence of the landscape simply but effectively. No previous experience of the medium is required, and the course is suitable for artists of all abilities.
Weather permitting, there will be outdoor sessions when we will work directly from the landscape itself. The intention is to work in and around the village of Ringstead on the Saturday, and at Thornham on the coast on the Sunday. Thornham is a delightful spot and is just a few minutes by car from Ringstead. Should the weather be unkind, the village hall is warm and well lit, and we can work there using my photographs and sketches as reference.
