As the season changes, explore the colours of nature in the Bishop’s Gate gardens and woodland, describing nature’s textures and tones through mixed media painting techniques. Local artist Sarah Carrington will lead you through the landscape and paint alongside you, demonstrating different ways to use watercolour painting to respond directly to the natural surroundings of this peaceful location within Downhill Demesne.

Since graduating in 1999, she has been practising as a professional artist, specialising in landscape drawing and painting. Currently based on the beautiful Causeway Coast, Sarah finds endless inspiration for her artwork.
