'Lakeland Cottages and more' in Pen and Wash with Lyn Evans

'Lakeland Cottages and more' in Pen and Wash - this is a lovely day with Lyn Evans.

Event Date

11 October 2025

£ 85

Description

Lyn will combine this most popular medium along with some of our lovely Lakeland buildings, of all sizes, whether nestled on a hillside in a wider landscape, in a townscape or amongst its own garden or setting - depicting those beautiful lakeland buildings in Pen and Wash, in a closer or larger landscape as preferred.

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.
