Delivered by local artist, Ian Davenport, this 3 hour workshop will take you through the process from composition to building up the layers to complete a finished sketch. The workshop is suitable for both beginners and improving artists and includes a welcome hot drink before heading out into the park to sketch. See Ian's work here: https://www.iandavenportart.com/
