Draw what you love! Start off drawing familiar and favourite objects and start to see how much more you notice when you draw them.
Take part in one or more of Jo’s Art Journaling workshops where the focus will be on drawing, enjoying drawing, developing observation skills and using drawing to creatively reflect on and capture your life and the world about you.
All welcome.

About your tutor:
Jo Beal is a Wiltshire based artist working from her loft studio and being inspired by the countryside, people, places and life in the UK or on travels abroad. In 2015, Jo purposefully reconnected with her own creative interests, primarily through drawing. She loves to draw from observation and to reflect on and capture her daily life through Drawing Diaries.
Jo runs workshops in a range of settings, and online, supporting others to draw through building confidence, teaching new skills and techniques and encouraging a personal exploration and enjoyment of drawing. In contrast, she makes carefully observed botanical studies, seeking to capture and emphasise colour, texture and shape.
Trained at Chelsea School of Art achieving a BA (Hons) Public Art/Art for Architecture she has since worked on an array of arts projects, from starting out as a volunteer on a community sculpture project in Cumbria to working as an Artist and Project Manager with renowned outdoor arts organisation, Kinetika. She has also worked as a freelance Arts Manager for over 20 years, working in community arts, latterly producing large scale outdoor arts festivals and walking festivals.
