Amber Halsall SBA - Botanical Art and more

After lots of travelling recently l'm late to the party as usual.😅 I've only just opened my spring edition of the Society of Botanical Artists members magazine to find an article all about me! What a lovely surprise 😍

So excited to be teaching at this new location in August. Come join me for a day ( or 2! ) of watercolour.

Create a botanical watercolour study inspired by seasonal flowers and plants. Learn colour mixing, layering, blending, and dry-brush techniques with step-by-step guidance from artist Amber Halsall.

Suitable for beginners and improvers. Leave with a finished artwork and new skills to build on.

I had a fabulous couple of days at The Oast Studio teaching a watercolour and a coloured pencil class. The end results were stunning thanks to some pretty talented students refreshed by the amazing lunch and custard tarts!

Big brush time. Using my Jackman’s Art Materials watercolour for a new little handmade book titled day and night.

I would love to show you some pics of new work and ideas but the reality of being a full time artist is that there are days of just admin and today was one of those! But I did a little bit on my Sketchbook and coming soon a new location in East Sussex. Watchthis space for details 😍

Just returned from a fabulous 'Scandinavia in Spring Cruise with Saga Cruises covering ports in Denmark, Sweden and Norway. The art classes were popular as usual and my students all produced some lovely pictures.
