Illustration can sometimes feel like something other people do - something that sits outside our own artistic toolkit. But this course proved that with a few clear, step-by-step ideas and a gentle process to follow, everyone can discover their own unique illustrative voice.

This month we took our paints out to the stunning @stemandgreen flower field, where dahlias stole the show. With their flamboyant shapes, endless colours and playful textures, they were the perfect subject to explore in paint.

There’s something irresistible about painting root vegetables — the colours, the textures, the earthy beauty of what grows underground. My beloved beetroot series celebrates all of that, using playful mixed-media techniques with collage, acrylic, ink and print. Join me in Winchester to discover your own unique style and bring these vibrant forms to life!
