Pen & Watercolour Travel Sketching

Ever wondered about watercolour painting? This workshop is ideal for absolute beginners.

Learn the basics of watercolour painting so that you can confidently document the world around you – much more engaging than taking photos you never look at again!

You will take home several works of art, a palette and a water brush. You will learn about the materials needed, ideas for creating your own portable kit, as well as many painting and process tips and techniques. All materials are provided, but bring along some of your favourite snaps of places you love as reference material.
