April Workshop

Still life including flowers from a bird’s eye perspective

Workshop with Claire Leggett

Saturday 11th April 2026, 10 am to 4pm

Cost: £40.00 per person

Outline of the day from Claire Leggett:

"This Floral Bird’s Eye View workshop is new way to see a floral still life…literally. It will include gouache and masking fluid techniques as well as learning to paint lace and fabric. I will give short demos before participants incorporate the techniques into their own work

I will start the day a step ahead of you demonstrating how I start, composing, drawing, using masking fluid and laying in the first washes. This will get you off to a good start as you interpret my demo into your own work as you begin - you can take as much (or as little) coaching as you want. Then throughout the day I will talk and show you my next steps alongside you working through your piece. I will check in with you as much as I (or as little) as you want, guiding, answering questions and cheering you on."

You will each be setting up your own still life to work from and view from above.

Please bring your own lunch.

Tea, coffee and biscuits will be available throughout the day.

Places for this workshop are limited so please contact Valmai Bowden via contact@lichfield-soc-artists.co.uk as soon as possible if you would like to reserve a place and she will then send further details and payment arrangements.
