About this Event

In this relaxing afternoon workshop, you’ll learn the techniques to paint autumn flowers with shadowing, inspired by some of the decorative borders in our exhibition ‘Renaissance: Scotland and Europe, 1480-1630'.

Using watercolour paints and fine brushes you will paint individual flowers to create your own image or design to take home.

All materials will be provided.

There will also be an opportunity to find out more about artist, calligrapher and embroiderer Esther Inglis (1571-1624) who is featured in our exhibition.

The workshop is suitable for everyone aged 16+

No experience of watercolour painting is required.



About the facilitators

The workshop will be led by Edinburgh-based artist Tessa Asquith-Lamb.
