Wild Drawing Workshop with Sheila Anderson-Hardy
Wednesday 6 May | 10.30am – 3pm | The Scottish Gallery
£120 per person (lunch included)
Join us for a day of immersive, nature-led drawing with artist Sheila Anderson-Hardy, inspired by flowers and foliage gathered fresh from the surrounding landscape.
Using seasonal plant material as a starting point, this workshop will guide participants through a series of demonstrations and practical exercises, exploring both expressive and observational approaches to drawing.
Throughout the day, Sheila will introduce and develop techniques across a range of media, including charcoal, sumi-e ink, watercolour and collage. Participants will be encouraged to experiment, build confidence, and develop their own visual language in response to natural forms.

- Watercolour paints
- A small palette (an old plate or saucer is fine)
- A small jar for water
- Scissors suitable for fine paper cutting

- Cartridge and watercolour paper
- Coloured paper for collage
- Charcoal and sumi-e ink
- White gouache
- Brushes, water spray and drawing equipment
