Inspired by the rich colours in the landscapes, plants and leaves of Velasco’s paintings, mix and create your own colours with natural materials. Think about landscape paintings in the Gallery’s pictures and your local environment, before creating your own colour palette to paint a new landscape.  

Following in the footsteps of Velasco, both an artist and botanist will search, observe and draw leaves we find in paintings throughout the gallery and use natural inks to bring these inspirations to life in the studio.
