Join this nature-themed sip and paint workshop in London and celebrate the arrival of spring by bringing your favourite flora and fauna to life. This relaxed session is a wonderful way to connect with the natural world while picking up quick and easy drawing and painting techniques.
Depending on your chosen date, you might even start with an inspiring bird walk, using professional birdwatching equipment to spot local wildlife before heading back to the studio to create.
During this three-hour workshop, you'll work with acrylic paints and pens to produce beautiful representations of birds, animals, and plants. There's no need to worry if you haven't picked up a brush in years – you'll be guided through simple methods to sketch and paint with confidence. You can make use of existing stencils to help your composition or even experiment with designing and cutting your own.
You'll finish the session with a renewed sense of creative confidence and a hand-painted keepsake that captures the vibrant energy of the season.
Please note: check your specific date for bird walk availability.
What you'll get
You will make six small designs and two larger pictures.

I’ve always felt a deep appreciation for nature and have been creative, making my own clothes and Christmas cards.
But it was 10 years ago when I discovered the puffins in Wales that my birdwatching - bird art obsession began. I began with making stencils of birds and creating spray paint art. When I travel on my birdwatching trips, I can't take my spray paint, so I got into watercolor, often mixing mediums of watercolor with black spray outlines.
A friend introduced me to abstract acrylic painting, and I immediately saw this as a backdrop for my birds and have developed a style that is easy for others to adopt and capture their favorite parts of nature.
After the popularity of Christmas card and art-making workshops in 2025, I am now running nature and bird-focused sessions, including sessions that start with a bird walk, with all the birdwatching equipment, so people can tune in to the feathered friends flitting around in the bushes, lakes, and coastal habitats.
I am in the process of building up a following for NaturArt Workshops on social media but have been focusing on my personal platform as I have a lot more followers there.
