Eager artists are asked to sign up to the latest workshops in the heart of summer nature.

Geilston Gardens, near Cardross, have been hosting art workshops for many years, and the Friends of Geilston Gardens want more guests to try their watercolour session for beginners.

The watercolour workshop with experienced local artist and tutor Julia Gurney takes place from 10am to 3pm on Thursday, August 17. 

Artists will learn a range of techniques, with tea and "something scrummy" provided on arrival. There is time at lunch to enjoy the gardens.

Organisers asked those taking part to bring a packed lunch, folding chair and clothing appropriate to the weather.

All painting materials will be provided and the £30 fee includes garen entry.

The Friends said: "It is just such a great opportunity."
