Tree Drawing Workshop - 20th April
Tansy Lee Moir is running two Tree drawing workshops at the Astley Ainslie on Saturday 20th April. To book a place, contact Maggie Carson at maggie.carson@aact.scot.
Discovering tree drawing at Astley Ainslie
This workshop will introduce you to some ways of drawing trees outdoors, inspired by the beautiful collection in the Astley Ainslie grounds. Drawing from nature is so absorbing but trees are complicated, and it can be hard to know where to start. Experienced tutor and tree artist Tansy Lee Moir will show you how to begin capturing a tree’s character in your drawings, using charcoal, graphite and conté crayon in a mixture of quick and focused approaches.
When: Saturday 20th April 9.30am – 12.30pm
Where: Astley Ainslie Hospital grounds. Meet at the carpark in the centre of the site.
Who: Suitable for anyone new to drawing, new to drawing outdoors, or who just love trees!
Cost £45
Details
All art materials and equipment provided, including drawing boards and stools. You are welcome to bring your own art materials too if you have them.

The workshop will begin at 9.30am sharp and Tansy will be there 5 minutes before to welcome you as you arrive.
