I’m enjoying the nature sketches so much that I’ve decided to teach a short course in Watercolour Nature Journals starting in October at the beautiful Morrab Library in Penzance.
Founded in 1818 the classical white building surrounded by palm trees is an oasis for book lovers, and is one of my favourite places in the world.
A collection of rooms big and small houses old books up to the ceiling, library ladders and leather topped writing tables. It has the air of a stately home library, but with added cups of tea and lots of laughter and camaraderie with the lovely staff.
I’ve booked the Theology Collection room (more commonly known as “God’s Room”. )
Wednesdays were free, so I’ve booked a run of six two hour sessions there on Wednesday afternoons to share my love of sketching nature with a small group of nature lovers.
