About this Event
The Berry Patch Atelier in Coloured Pencil
Celebrate the colours of the season in this vibrant, hands-on coloured pencil workshop. In this 1.5-hour session, you’ll explore drawing freshly picked seasonal berries inspired by those grown and foraged around local Ontario farms.
Working from direct observation, students will learn how to capture the richness, texture, and glow of berries using coloured pencil techniques such as layering, blending, and building depth. By the end of the workshop, you’ll have created a lively, colour-filled drawing that feels fresh, expressive, and full of life.
