SKETCH & EXPLORE SESSIONS

SKETCH & EXPLORE WITH ME
In July I am hosting 2 new 'Sketch & Explore' sessions to walk and sketch with me. These are informal teaching sessions where I am sharing the joys of sketching outside. It's a session where there are no expectations - just the opportunity to sketch as part of a group and receive help and advice from myself and from each other.
These 2 sessions are being run free of charge. Please read T&Cs and check the FAQs - if you have other questions do get in touch.

'the workshop was fabulous. Karen is an excellent teacher - very encouraging and supportive'
'a wonderful day full of guidance, well explained. Lovely atmosphere'
'I would highly recommend Karen's workshop to anyone wanting to explore acrylic and it's endless potential for creativity'
​
Karen is an inspirational & encouraging teacher.

I am a complete novice and Karen made everything accessible and enjoyable - highly recommended.

I have never felt so comfortable and learnt more at any other workshop - very healing

I found Karen to be an excellent teacher. Very clear. Willing to answer questions. I learnt so much.
Karen provides a winning combination of dedicated organisation, preparation & creativity. she gently encourages you to stretch your boundaries & develop confidence.

Online workshop - booking closed
‘Creative Sketchbooks’.
This is a workshop in which I take you and your sketchbook on a journey of discovery as you join me live online for 3 workshop sessions exploring your creativity.
Using nature as a prompt I’ll be guiding you through the process I use when I work in one of my ‘creative’ concertina sketchbooks; you will get over 6 hours of teaching which will take place over 3 x 2.5 hour sessions using Zoom.
​As free bonus I will (technology permitting!) be recording the sessions * so that each attendee can get a chance to see the session again and work through it at their own pace.
