The course will take place at Fauhope Country house which is a 5 star B&B located within the beautiful town of Melrose in the Scottish Borders. Perfectly located with magnificent views to the Eildon Hills, it provides a wonderful environment to inspire your creativity. The course is suitable for students of all skill levels. Themes to explore will include landscape, interiors and still life. Alan will encourage students to consider perspective, colour, composition and proportion. From drawing the exterior/interior of the country house to setting up a still life group to sketching outdoors (weather permitting), there will be plenty of opportunity to develop your technique and learn new skills. WHAT SHOULD YOU BRING? Please bring along your own favoured medium, best restricted to dry or fast drying materials given the 2 day time restraint. Tables and seating will be provided, heavier easels can be provided if requested in advance. Fauhope Country House and its grounds is a truly lovely place, which contains many subjects in and around the building in a wealth of material, colours and texture.
