Description

This is a lovely day with Lyn Evans, who will combine this most popular medium along with some of our lovely Lakeland heritage buildings, of all sizes, whether nestled on a hillside in a wider landscape, or within a country estate, or our towns and villages.

The day will start with a step by step where you will be working on the same piece with Lyn, using the camera and screen so you can follow from the comfort of your desks as she leads you through the drawing and painting of the piece. You can of course just watch at the front too if you wish. Bring some of you own photographs or images to work on in the afternoon and Lyn will continue to guide you through your piece. Suitable for all abilities.

The Vernacular' refers to any traditional, local style of building and design that comes from using the naturally available building materials, stones, slates etc within that locality.

Lakeland vernacular' refers to the traditional, local style of building and design found in the Lake District, Cumbria. It encompasses the use of local materials, like Borrowdale slate and stone, and building techniques specific to the region, resulting in a harmonious blend with the landscape. This vernacular architecture also reflects the functional needs and traditions of the area, with buildings often designed to withstand the local climate and terrain.
