Explore the textures, colours and patterns found in the trees of Indian miniature painting. Participants will learn and prepare their own paper using agate stones and their own paints from pigments and gum Arabic. Finally they will finish their painting with fine detail associated with Indian miniature painting. Suitable for all abilities.

All basic materials provided for this workshop, although we recommend bringing your own brushes if you have them, ranging from very, very small to medium in size. Samantha specifically suggests size 5/6, 2, and some 0, 00 watercolour brushes. Please bring an apron or wear clothes suitable for an art studio. You may also wish to consider bring a plastic bag in which to take wet work home with you on Day 2.
