At this workshop with renowned painter, Gerald Porter, you will look at plants and complete a study using a combination of drawing and painting with watercolours. You will learn how to analyse and study the shape, dimension and arrangements using plants from the home and the garden centre, creating a colourful image of the objects in front of you.
