Whether youre seeking to improve your skills or aiming to reignite your passion, together well explore uplifting themes that you can (literally) draw from every day, helping you tap into your artistic potential and create truly special, personal and exciting art journal pages.

As the weekend unfolds, take a deep breath, unwind, and let your creativity guide you. This is your time to slow down, observe, and find beauty in the small, everyday moments. Together, we’ll discover how to express your world through sketches, words, snapshots, colours and shapes, turning the ordinary into extraordinary visual stories.

Embrace the Season Through Colour: We’ll begin with an exploration of the seasons, using art journaling and expressive drawing techniques to capture their dramatic and subtle changes. Inspired by the skys changing moods and colours, you’ll create bold, dynamic marks and art journal pages that reflect the colours and textures of the weather.

With spring unfolding around us, we’ll dive into fresh blossoms, vibrant greenery and shifting light as we experiment with new ways to incorporate colour into our work. Hawkwood’s breathtaking scenery will fuel our creativity, as we capture the essence of this vibrant season.

Food for Thought: From towers of tins to comforting mugs of tea, we’ll transform familiar, everyday moments into art, exploring 3D form and visual storytelling.

Tell Your Story in a New Way: What do you or someone you know do for work or fun? Imagine using cool tools and playing with negative space to tell that story in a fresh, creative way. Whether it’s a job, hobby, or passion, this session will open new doors for storytelling in your art journal.

Reflect and Refine: As the weekend concludes, take time to reflect on your creative journey. Whether you revisit exercises or explore new insights, this is your chance to refine your skills and build a toolkit of techniques to carry with you long after you leave Hawkwood.
