Join painter Donna Brewins-Cookourney through watercolours and inks into urban paradise, taking inspiration from the nearby Winter Garden.
Donna will take you on a painting adventure through historic notions of paradise to present-day ideas. You’ll be inspired by the multi award winning Winter Garden in Sheffield, walking and painting ‘plein air’, before taking ideas back to the workshop space at the Millennium Gallery to build a larger project and finished painting.
Perceptions of paradise vary immensely: it could be sitting on your balcony among your plants with your first cup of coffee, enjoying a ramble in the countryside, or sitting on a tropical beach far away somewhere. Whatever your idea of paradise is, chances are it will not include the idea of a large city or built-up area being such a perfect, calm, reflective space.
Suitable for all abilities. All materials will be provided. Watercolour paper and boards will be provided, but you may prefer to bring your own watercolour sketchbook for working in the Winter Garden.
