Take your creativity outdoors and experience the joy of drawing and painting en plein air! These special sessions are a wonderful opportunity to capture light, colour, and atmosphere directly from nature — whether it’s a peaceful garden, riverside view, or a lively town scene.Led by Slade-trained tutor Carol Baker MA, you’ll receive expert guidance on composition, perspective, and working quickly and confidently outdoors. Each session combines relaxed tuition with time to explore your own artistic response to the landscape.
Past sessions have taken place in inspiring local locations such as:
Richmond Park
Hampton Court
Cannizaro Park
We also love to visit galleries and museums for artistic inspiration. Past trips have included:
The National Gallery
The Courtauld Institute
The Natural History Museum
Kingston Museum
These visits may be one-off events or part of the 12 Week Art Course, giving you the chance to learn directly from observing professional works and collections. Details of future plein air classes and field trips will be announced here - we’ll be back with new classes soon!
