You'll also learn how to develop a series and find your personal voice while receiving 1:1 feedback. The workshop will also include plenty of tutor demonstrations and time for experimentation and play.  

By the end of the 3 days, you will of created a small series of around 15 atmospheric landscapes on both paper and board.
