What’s on
Summertime at Holkham Oil Painting Workshop
Discover the beauty of Holkham’s enchanting Walled Garden through the eyes of an artist.
Spend two days surrounded by the glorious Walled Garden in summertime, where you will learn how to capture the essence of summer through paint with professional artist, Bryony Knight.
No oil painting experience is required, just an open mind, flare for creativity and a passion for all things floral. All materials needed will be provided.
By the end of the weekend, you will be going home with some beautiful floral paintings and a new found passion for painting.
As well as learning the art of oil painting, the workshop will include a walk around the blossoming walled garden, an introduction to oil painting, and an opportunity to meet likeminded people.
Lunch and hot drinks are included.
The workshop will run from 10am – 4pm on both days. Please arrive via the North Gates using the postcode NR23 1RH, let the car parking team know which event you’re attending on arrival, and they will direct you to park at the West Paddock by the Walled Gardens.
