Watercolour Landscape Painting

Discover a more intuitive approach to watercolours in this 3-week course, focusing on loose, expressive urban landscapes.

You’ll 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. Bring along any building/street/urban landscape photos to help inspire your outcomes.

By the end of the 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. All materials provided, but please bring with you pencils, an eraser, ruler, and sharpener.
