Come along to a relaxing and creative session of drawing with your little artist(s), outside in the yard at Ouseburn Farm. The animals might not sit still for you, but they will definitely provide lots of inspiration, fun and most of all, cuteness!
Your session will include some information about the animals, their breed and how they are looked after on the farm. There will also be some drawing tips and tricks to try out – including warm-up drawing exercises to get you loosened up. You can draw directly from the animals and you can also use your phones to take reference photos to help you.
The event is suitable for both adults and children the perfect activity for the school holidays. No drawing experience necessary – just be prepared to come along and give it a go!
