Join artist Sarah Hankinson for a still life and botanicals workshop in the Seasons Restaurant at Cloudehill. Working with our perfect peonies, Sarah will guide you through the fundamentals of observational drawing and watercolour painting, exploring botanical subjects and still life compositions. Participants will learn techniques including observation, line, tone, composition and working with watercolour.

With a focus on slowing down, appreciating nature, and making time for creative play, this workshop encourages curiosity, experimentation, and confidence in drawing and watercolour painting from observation.

Each participant will take home a collection of mixed media studies, sketches, and their own finished botanical and still life artworks.

Morning tea will be provided, including a selection of delicious Seasons cakes and their famous lemon tart.

Evelyn ★★★★★

The workshop setting in the Seasons Restaurant with those perfect peonies was just lovely. I was amazed at how much I learned about capturing light and shadow on the petals in just a few hours. The whole experience felt both relaxing and creatively inspiring.

Scarlett K. ★★★★★

Sarah's guidance made me see the peonies in a whole new light, and the setup in the Seasons Restaurant was beautiful. I learned so much about observational drawing in just that one session.

Julian ★★★★★

The restaurant setting at Cloudehill was so peaceful, and having the fresh peonies right there made it easy to lose myself in the painting. Sarah's patient teaching style helped me capture the petals' soft folds, which I’ve struggled with before. I left feeling genuinely inspired.
