Wolves (Painting)

Join Vic for a wild encounter with a difference. Spend the day at the UK Wolf Conservation Trust, where your day will begin with a talk about wolves, the Trust and what they do to support wolf conservation. Then, a rare chance to meet and photograph the wolves at close range - the first of two photographic sessions, which will enable you to observe and gather some great reference material of the wolves in their winter coats for your own future paintings.

Leading up to lunch, follow Vic's expert tuition and guidance to begin your own pastel painting of one of the Trust's own wolves. No need to worry if you are unsure of your drawing skills, as the velour paper has a 'pencil' outline pre-printed onto it, so all you need to do is concentrate on the pastel painting. At lunchtime, there will be a chance to browse the shop to purchase souvenirs of the truly unique day, or just listen to the wolves howling.

After lunch, there will be the second photographic session, after which you will complete your pastel painting ready to take home and frame. All materials and light refreshments are included, we advise attendees to bring a packed lunch.

40% from the workshop will be donated directly to UK WCT, to help support wolf conservation projects in Europe, so you will be helping a good cause as well as having fun!
