Learn to create autumnal artwork using Derwent Inktense, tissue papers, and pressed autumn leaves. Based on mixed-media collage pages from my nature journals, this crafty, arty day is split into two parts. Come for just the morning, just the afternoon or the entire day! Beginner friendly, all materials included – bring some of your own pressed autumn leaves to use if you like. Bring a packed lunch or there is time to buy from the deli opposite or the shop in town.
10:00 – 12:30: Mixed media autumn landscapes with Derwent Inktense pencils and tissue papers. Make a series of visually exciting autumnal paintings that can be used as backgrounds for your autumn leaves collage or stand alone in their own right.
12:30 – 1:30: Lunch break, or feel free to carry on working.
1:30 – 4:00: Autumn leaves collage. Use a combination of painting, paper collage and pressed autumn leaves to create autumnal artworks.
Autumn leaves – how to press. If you’d like to bring your own, gather the leaves when they are in their best autumn colours on a dry day. Pick leaves from the trees or freshly fallen leaves and avoid any that have curled or browned. Place them between two sheets of blotting paper, newspaper, or kitchen towel between the pages of a heavy book and allow them to press for at least a week. When ready, put into an envelope and keep flat, cool and dry.
