Christmas Botanical Pen & Watercolour at Bakewell Town Hall Tuesday 17th November 2026 (3 hours)

Spend three hours creating beautiful botanicals in pen and watercolour with Kate Dawes.  A relaxed pen & watercolour workshop.  Suitable for all abilities. 
 
Small workshops - max 12 people. 
 
Kate will show you different techniques of pen drawing along with how to overlay with 'dry' watercolour to create beautiful botanical art.  All materials are provided. 
 
The workshop will be split into two phases - firstly pen drawing and then 'dry' watercolour. It will start with Kate showing you different pen drawing styles.  She will help guide you to find a pen technique that suits you. 
 
Once you have done some pen drawing, Kate will help you find the best watercolour technique to complement your pen work. 
 
She will offer individual support and guidance throughout the session, to help everyone develop their personal style, understand composition, colour mixing, and achieve a more confident approach to art. 
 
Kate will provide a selection of winter berries, foliage and flowers for inspiration, and you’ll create an A4 botanical artwork that could be used as a festive / Christmas card design if you wish. 

Suitable for all abilities from absolute beginners to the more experienced artist, who would like to try a new technique and approach to art.  All materials supplied. 

All materials, equipment and tuition are included.
