Returning to Art – Watercolour Urban Landscapes Short Course

This exciting course will encourage an intuitive approach to watercolours, accepting the beauty of happy accidents and a looser way of painting urban landscapes.

You will develop an understanding of washes, wet-on-wet/wet-on-dry techniques, as well as the use of watercolour pencils and fine-liner pens to accentuate details. Feel free to bring along any building/street/urban landscape source photos that may help to inspire your outcomes.

By the end of the 3-week course, you will have completed a series of urban, architectural landscape paintings to take away with you. You will have also developed your confidence and skills in exploring and experimenting with watercolours.

Please bring along pencils, eraser, ruler, and a sharpener.
