Master the creative possibilities of pencil and watercolour. Taking inspiration from our free display of watercolour landscapes by JMW Turner and Richard Parkes Bonington, you’ll investigate how these materials can be used to convey a sense of place, atmosphere, and personal connection to a subject. Our emphasis will be on experimentation and discovery, through close study of masterpieces in watercolour, quick-fire exercises, and longer periods to practise new approaches.

By the end of the weekend, you’ll have completed a number of watercolour sketches and gained confidence in using watercolour to respond to landscapes in the museum and in nature.
