This is a two day course that will show you how to sketch buildings in the landscape with pen and watercolour wash. You will be shown how to combine waterproof ink pen with painting with a watercolour wash to sketch trees, architecture and buildings in the landscape. Using demonstrations and working from photographs supplied by the tutor, you will be shown how each technique can be achieved. The course will be run in a friendly and relaxed manner and is an ideal way of moving on to other subjects where the combination of pen and wash can be used.
Aimed at students of all abilities, especially beginners and/or students with some knowledge.
