Drawing Workshop - Watercolour and Drawing October 25th November 1st November 8th November 15th

Step away from the chaos of daily life and immerse yourself in the serene world of watercolor and drawing. Discover the joy of self-expression through drawing and watercolour, and let your imagination flow freely onto the pages of your visual journal over 4 sessions. Explore the power of colours, shapes, and textures, and uncover a deeper understanding of yourself along the way. You don't have to be an artist to join, just bring an open mind and a willingness to explore. Join me and unlock your creative potential.

The workshop will give you an insight into tools and activities to begin confidently in water-soluble graphite pencil, watercolour pigments and pencils. You will investigate visual arts elements such as line, colour, shape and texture using a variety of simple and fun techniques.

You will be shown some creative and easy ways to take sketching techniques and skills further in exercises designed to get you combining these with water colours. You will also be exploring and experimenting with elements of landscape and having hands-on experience with a variety of traditional and non-traditional drawing and watercolour styles .

You might have heard that keeping a journal with simple watercolour sketching is a great way to record your thoughts and capture your environment. If you are wanting to de-stress then drawing can help take your mind away from what could be stifling your energy. Typical journaling involves only writing—but for those who are more visually inclined, an art journal is a great alternative. An art journal is a visual diary; it combines elements of writing, drawing, painting, collage, watercolours to express yourself. This includes your everyday life and travels as well as your bigger hopes, dreams, and fears. An A4 folio and all art materials included.

Watercolours Art Workshop shows you how to explore and become confident with water-soluble materials such as pencils, paints and inks. Allowing water to be used to manipulate these materials gives you an opportunity to drip, dribble or spray around a surface. By understanding the boundaries of each media can give you handles to hold onto to achieve more options for its use. Develop some watercolour techniques that could enhance what you might already know or give you a fresh approach to your own style of working with watercolour.
