🌿 Our first Summer Garden Art session at St. Ethelwolds House is complete, and what a lovely afternoon it was.

🌸We began outside in the garden with observation drawing, slowing down to really notice the flowers in front of us.

✏️Back in the studio, everyone planned their own compositions, shared ideas, enjoyed tea and biscuits, and by the end of the afternoon the group were already chatting like old friends. Seeing everyone’s different interpretations of the same subject is always one of my favourite parts of teaching.

🎨If you’d love to spend your Thursday afternoons painting, my **Creative Painting** autumn course begins this October in Abingdon & Oxford. We’ll explore autumn inspired art in a relaxed, welcoming environment. Beginners are very welcome. 🍂🍁

One of the most rewarding parts of teaching is seeing the confidence that grows alongside the art. 🎨

I just closed the year at Abingdon and Witney College and on the last day of term I asked my students to share one thing they’ve learned through the drawing and painting courses they attended this year.

Here are some of their reflections… ✨

✏️The best habit an artist can build!

Keeping a sketchbook is one of the simplest ways to grow as an artist. There have been times I fell off the practice but whenever I caught back to it, I noticed a significant growth in my creative thinking, problem solving, drawing and painting skills! The best benefit… I get faster at making art!

It’s a space to observe, explore new ideas, and strengthen your drawing skills through regular practice. Over time, those small moments of sketching build confidence, improve your observation, and inspire future paintings.

I encourage all of my students to keep a sketchbook…not because every page has to be perfect, but because every page is an opportunity to keep learning.

A little sketching, often, goes a long way. 🌿
Do you keep a sketchbook?? ✏️✍️

UPDATE: SOLD OUT💐Summer Garden Art Course in Abingdon -- Few places left, starts 4th August. Details and booking: https://www.danicadasilvapereira.com/event-list

This August I'm running a 4-week Summer Garden Art Course at St Ethelwold's House in Abingdon - FOR ADULTS. The course is built around two projects inspired by the garden itself:

🧺 Gathered Blooms: Painted, Cut, and Kept -- sketch, paint and collage garden flowers into a hanging basket, as if freshly picked
🪟 Garden Window: The View I Keep -- paint the view from a window, framed as its own little scene

Both are led gently, step by step, whether you're brand new to art or coming back to it after a break, and the historic house and gardens themselves are a huge part of the inspiration.

🎨 All materials provided
☕ Tea, coffee and biscuits included
✅ Beginners and improvers both welcome
📍 St Ethelwold's House, Abingdon
🗓️ Tuesdays, 3:30–6:00pm | 4th–25th August
