Apple – introduction to botanical coloured pencil drawing at The Old Kennels
About the Course
With Linda Hampson Member of the SW Society of Botanical Artists
For those of you unable to attend Linda’s course in person we offer the option of joining us online.
The Apple course is a wonderful taster for those of you who itch to draw, but just aren’t sure where to start. It is equally interesting for improvers who might want to go back to basics as a reminder of the simplicity of the technique. You can be assured of an artwork to be proud of at the end of this lesson.
We invite you to share your outcomes with Linda and of course be in touch if you have any concerns or need help by email for the duration of the course.
Coloured pencil is a marvellously versatile medium and it is genuinely an easy medium to master when you have learned the basic techniques. Linda invites you to join her for a series of workshops specifically using Faber Castell Polychromos pencils. You will learn how to layer and blend and various other ‘tricks’ in this easy introductory lesson. Complete beginners and improvers will enjoy this ‘back to basics’, simple, but very impressive apple drawing technique.
If you get hooked, progression courses are also available.

I thoroughly enjoyed this course and definitely recommend it to anyone.
I checked the link early and ordered a few pencils in and made sure I had some paper etc. around the house before I sat down to start. I spent a few hours on a rainy Sunday sketching in the company of the lovely tutor via pre-recorded video and I loved it.
The course provides written instructions, extra details and the pre-recorded video that you can stop, rewind and re-play as many times as you need. I have never done anything quite like this and I was genuinely pleased with what I produced, even though I didn't think for one minute I would be. If you're not sure, just give it a go!
