Marvellous Pictures: half-day workshop with Paul Newland
In the Kenwood House collection, we can see differing approaches to landscape - from the idyllic and fanciful to realist, to romantic. Differing approaches to portraiture are also on offer - from the earthy and penetrating to the exquisitely well-mannered. The aim of this workshop is to investigate these approaches with drawings.

Watercolour sketching: 1-day plein air workshop with Neil Pittaway
Spend a day sketching in watercolours at Battersea Power Station with NEAC member Neil Pittaway, who will work with you to capture the essence of one of London’s most iconic landmarks. At its peak, Battersea Power Station was supplying a fifth of London's electricity. After decades of sitting derelict, it is now open to the public as one of London's most exciting and innovative new destinations.

Half-Day Drawing Workshops with Laura Smith at the Wallace Collection
Laura is passionate about drawing from great works of art, believing that it slows down our looking and allows us to see more deeply into the mind of the artist. These workshops will begin with short introductions to the collection and suggestions for drawing subjects. Then, Laura will draw alongside students, sharing her approach to the activity.
The World Comes to Pay a Visit: 1-day plein air workshop with Paul Newland
Use whatever medium you choose to study the contrasts to be seen in this vibrant area of central London. There's the Euston Road, the railway station (new superimposed on Victorian structure), the constant movements of people amongst surrounding developments and restorations. Just a few hundred yards away, the Regent's Canal with its multifarious uses.
