Life Drawing is a discipline explored by artists through the ages, underpinning observational drawing skills and understanding of human anatomy. This course is an excellent opportunity to explore representing the figure in line, tone, light and shadow. You will develop and extend different techniques using a variety of art materials and you will be shown examples from artist works to inspire and support your learning.

This one-day course is an opportunity to explore the possibilities of watercolour painting. You will learn how to use materials (paper, paints and brushes), and learn about different techniques (washes, colour mixing, tone, texture & pattern) through carefully designed exercises.

This course is open to everyone - beginners are welcome. We will start by creating study sheets covering all the basic techniques of watercolour painting: including glazes, wet on wet, mixing colours to form shadows without using black or white, and learn how to create effects of clouds, water and trees. We will then work from Images of landscapes using all the techniques on watercolour paper.
