Mark making inspired by Millet’s outdoors

Free, drop-in 

In this meditative drawing session, we will be exploring painterly marks, strokes and gestures found in natural landscapes. Slow down and look closely through this restorative practice.  Come and join us in Room 19. 

Slow down and find calm, peace, and balance through this restorative practice taking inspiration from the natural world.
