Sunday morning sketch. She doesn’t look so happy, no reflection on how I feel, as I’m looking forward to pancakes with fruit and yogurt with a fresh pot of coffee which always puts a smile on my face. I hope your Sunday brings you a smile #sundaysketch #inkonpaper #thelittlethings

Trying to replicate this perfect autumn colour fou

Trying to replicate this perfect autumn colour found on this dried flower. Mixing paints can be a tricky business. I usually know what shade I would like to make, but after mixing various colours I usually end up with far too much paint. It’s a big subject to get your head around, but I think I just might of pulled this one off. Head over to @botanyshope5 to see the colour used in the garland for our upcoming workshop

A seasonal Garland workshop will soon be here on Thursday 25th November at the beautiful shop Butlers Emporium in Hastings Old town
from 7-8.30pm

After many years of knowing each other, I’m pleased to say Angela Maynard floral artist, writer and founder of Botany and myself will be joining forces to bring you a relaxed evening of guided mark making with brushes and handmade tools to make a seasonal garland on a beautiful, textured handmade paper. Inspiration will be taken from an autumnal flora installation designed and created by Angela. The above video is a little taster of what can be achieved.

Rose, owner of Butlers Emporium will be constructing some tasty refreshments and will be putting her exceptional interior design skills to make the setting quite something.

We would love for you to come along. All are welcome as no experience necessary.
