Thursdays, 2pm - 5pm | 5 weeks

Starts Thursday15 January 2026

Experiment with the exquisite medium of watercolour to create atmospheric and imaginative  landscapes. Respond to your feelings, memories and senses to create personal responses to the theme of landscape: paint the land you love and let your own inner landscapes take form. Give yourself permission to enjoy the unexpected and to delight in ‘happy accidents’.

Explore the surprising possibilities of watercolour when combined with new materials including granulation medium, ink, oil, wax, soap and salt. This course will introduce you to a diversity of ways to work with watercolour, both traditional and unconventional.

Suitable for beginners, though all levels of ability welcome.

All basic materials provided, although we recommend bringing your own watercolour brushes if you have them. Please wear clothes suitable for a studio environment and bring a bag or portfolio suitable for taking work home after each session.
