Join Yorkshire artist and illustrator, Tim Gomersall, for a full day painting birds. You will be celebrating the birds that stay with us over the cold Northern winters, capturing their personalities using watercolour and ink: the perfect tools for the job.

Tim will introduce you to drawing techniques to keep your artwork looking fresh and energetic. He will demonstrate ways to approach naturalistic observation, working from photographs to create lifelike, yet loose and expressive watercolour birds.

After lunch, you will work on a larger scale, using wet-in-wet washes and exaggeration to create a final bird artwork that is truly your own.
Tim is an experienced, patient and supportive tutor, and will be on hand throughout to offer 1-to-1 support in this small group setting. 

Art materials will be provided, but if you have any favourite papers, inks, or watercolours, do bring them along to work with.
Where are Workshops Held?

Unless otherwise stated, our workshops take place in the spacious, light-filled room above our shop in the Clock Tower at Ripley. It’s a lovely space that’s perfect for getting creative.

Please note that the workshop room is accessed via one flight of stairs. Toilet facilities are available on site.
What Do I Bring?

Just bring yourselves!
All materials will be provided unless we let you know otherwise.

We’ll have refreshments ready for you on arrival. If your workshop runs all day, please note that lunch isn’t provided. You’re welcome to bring a packed lunch or visit the tearoom or coffee shop in Ripley Castle Courtyard.

If your workshop is likely to get a bit messy, we recommend wearing something you don’t mind getting creative in!
Car Parking

You’re welcome to park in the car park next to Ripley Castle Courtyard — it’s just a short walk from our shop.

Parking is free for workshop attendees, but please let us know your car registration number when you arrive so we can make sure you’re covered for the day.
