Join me for a relaxed drawing and watercolour day immersion into the Rose. Drawing the Rose becomes a ritual, it brings you into a deep connection with this iconic ancient flower. A flower that has informed us humans medicinally, creatively and spiritually for thousands of years - we will find something of its soul nature, love and character alive in all of us.

The artistic process shared in this workshop will give you the skills and time to observe how the rose affects you, and how to create your own sensitively informed beautiful picture. We will also be making ink from petals and incorporating the medicine, and insight this flower brings to shape our awareness. You can fully expect your art pieces and your inner senses to be shaped by the rose form and essence.

Join artist and botanical art therapist Eleanor Darley @elle_darley  in Dartmoor. Bringing many years of experience working with the Rose she will gently, expertly guide people through an artistic process so the art is alive with gesture and the soul qualities of the plant.
