Service Description

This course will be centred around the beautiful walled garden of Auchencairn House. It will be a chance for you to devote extended time to practising your watercolour techniques with guidance from Jenny, who will demonstrate various techniques throughout the 3 days, whilst immersing yourself in the calm and tranquility of a country garden. Jenny’s painterly style encompasses the unique and unpredictable qualities of watercolour and over the 3 days Jenny will encourage you to paint both individual flowers and garden scenes whilst getting to grips with working ‘en plein air’, yielding paintings with an enhanced sense of life and vibrancy. Should the weather be unfavourable for painting outdoors, there is the option of working indoors at Auchencairn with fresh flowers in a dedicated painting room. This 3-day course will be a time of relaxed learning in the serenity of this peaceful garden by the sea.
