Workshops

Discover the joy of creating beautiful wildlife art in a welcoming, supportive environment. Whether you're picking up a paintbrush or pencil for the first time or looking to develop your artistic skills, my workshops are designed to inspire creativity while fostering a deeper appreciation for the natural world.

As a professional wildlife conservation artist with a background in Zoology and Biodiversity & Conservation, I combine artistic tuition with fascinating insights into the animals we paint. Every workshop is more than just an art class, it's an opportunity to connect with wildlife and learn about the species, habitats and conservation challenges that make our natural world so extraordinary.

All ability levels welcome and if you'd like private tuition please email me.

My next workshops

Join Sarah for a three day oil painting workshop focusing on the striking Tree frog. A fantastic opportunity to play with detail or loose brush work to create the glossy wet look of the frog.

Join Sarah on this 2 day pastel workshop, where you'll create a striking portrait of a Tiger. Throughout the workshop, you'll learn how to accurately mix and layer colour to achieve rich, realistic tones. You'll build depth and texture through effective layering techniques, and master fine detail work to bring the tiger's fur, eyes and expression to life.

During the workshop, Sarah will guide you step-by-step through creating your own woodland animal painting, showing you how to prep the and seal the wood, build up colour, texture and detail while allowing the natural grain and character of the wood to become part of your finished piece.

Perfect for wildlife and art lovers, this relaxed workshop is suitable for all abilities, including beginners.
