The Road Less Travelled

“Not all those who wander are lost.” — J.R.R. Tolkien

Step off the beaten track and into a world of imagination, storytelling and discovery.

In this creative workshop for adults and teens, you’ll combine whimsical landscape painting with character development to create an artwork that tells a story.

Using watercolours, pens and inks, you’ll explore winding paths, hidden places, distant horizons and the curious characters who travel through them.

Whether inspired by fantasy, memory, dreams or adventure, you’ll learn how to build atmosphere, narrative and visual interest within your work.

Suitable for beginner and experienced artists alike!

All materials provided.
