BELSAY HALL QUARRY GARDENS​​​​​

Friday the 16th of October 2026, 10am-2.30pm

Led by David Holliday


I’m excited to share this month’s painting with you - a beautiful scene inspired by the Quarry Gardens at Belsay Hall.

​

In this class, we’ll bring this atmospheric landscape to life, exploring how to build depth, light and texture with watercolour paint.

​

You’ll learn how to:

  • ​Layer paint from light to dark to create rich, realistic foliage and beautiful depth.

  • ​Capture rock textures and bring the dramatic quarry walls to life.

  • Create dramatic shafts of light as they stream down into the quarry, illuminating the foliage and transforming the whole scene.

​We’ll take our time exploring colour, light and texture, with lots of guidance along the way, perfect whether you’re developing your painting skills or simply looking for a relaxing and creative few hours.

​

​​​No more than 11 people per class / Booking is taken on a first come, first served basis. ​​​
