About

Make observational drawings of our still life display of plants, and then add in stormy wind and rain effects and think about what animals might live amongst the plants. Will you draw them in too?!

Artists Chloe Cooper & Rachel McGivern will be on hand to help you. 

This session has been developed in consultation with The National Gallery's ARTiculation Alumni 

Inspired by our Take One Picture focus painting by Henri Rousseau: Surprised!
