About 'Yorkshire Lavender' and your workshop
Yorkshire’s largest lavender farm ‘Yorkshire Lavender’ is The North of England's triple award-winning visitor attraction with the lavender farm and gardens all set within the Howardian Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. 

The spectacular panoramic views overlooking rural Rydedale landscape fields beyond hillsides of purple Lavender are spectacular. Surrounding you are tranquil gardens and spacious views. There is something for everyone here in such a relaxed atmosphere soaking up the scene painting alongside like minded artists. A wonderful and rewarding painting day indeed.

There are 60 acres of south-facing farmland, just outside Terrington is all part of Yorkshire Lavender. The mature planting, extensive hillside gardens, sculpture park, natural lavender maze, lovely modern (yet sympathetic to the area) buildings, gift shop and so on, are just some of the great features here that will make your day at Yorkshire Lavender with me a very special one indeed!

Duration of your workshop
This exclusive full day workshop will be from 10.30am to 3.30pm with an hour for lunch between your relaxed painting sessions

What to bring
Soft and hard pastels  and fixative are highly recommended. Pro brands are better than the cheaper dusty ones as these have more filler than pigment content. Highly recommended are Unison Colour half sticks (do get some darks) and Rembrandt half stick sets too. If on a budget 72 set of Inscribe pastels are good too.

There is no dictate though (as mentioned) as to what to bring to paint with. I shall leave this entirely up to you.

Pastel papers are so broad and varied but I highly recommend Canson Mi-Tientes 'Touch' 35ogsm, Clairefontaine Pastelmat 360gsm or similar type papers. They are strong, firm and have good toothto them and accept a lot of pastel without the need for gallons of fixative to hold your pastels in place.

Equipment that fits easily into a small back pack is advised if you want to work outdoors. I shall work upright from an easel and using pastels. The media is quick and easy to use and ideal for the locality and of course, perfect for you learn from and maximise your painting time during the day.
