    Mixed media art


Join Emmeline Webb for a colourful and creative day at RHS Garden Rosemoor, exploring plant forms and building up a mixed media piece of still life art, made from hand painted collage and assembled on paper. 

Start by exploring plant forms and creating a still life composition using hand painted collage assembled on paper. The day will include watercolour and acrylic painting using mixed media techniques, and drawing from observation to create a collaged arrangement of flowers and foliage.

Towards the end of the day, you will be able to frame your finished work, ensuring that everyone leaves with a fun-fuelled, ready to hang work of art (frames provided will be glass free).

Emmeline Webb returned to art education as a mature student, gaining a BA (hons) in Illustration from Cambridge School of Art in 2008. Since then she has been encouraging others to find their artistic voice, and benefit from the restorative effects of making art, and now has over 10 years’ experience teaching art workshops to teen and adults. Emmeline's workshops are suited to all abilities, with an emphasis on relaxion, exploration of art materials and ultimately fun.

Please bring with you:

  • Your booking reference number
  • A notebook and pencil to make notes
  • Camera (or mobile phone for photos)
  • Please wear older clothes or bring an apron to protect clothes from paints, and closed-toe shoes.
  • Please bring your coat as part of the day will be spent seeking inspiration from the garden.
Watercolours, acrylic paints, pastels and paint brushes will be available to use in the session. However, if you have you own tools and materials that you would like to use, please do bring them along too.

Lunch and refreshments included.

Tutor: Emmeline Webb
