Urban sketching with pencil and watercolour - 20th September TBC

$200.00

Time – 10am – 3.30pm
Dates – Sunday 20th September
Venue – Annandale Neighbourhood Centre, 79 Johnston St, Annandale NSW

Ever wanted to sketch when you're travelling or in your local neighbourhood? This one day workshop will give you confidence to sketch and use watercolour wash in the urban landscape. We will start inside the hall to learn a few fundamentals of sketching perspective and composition and some basic use of watercolour. After that we will go outside - weather permitting, around the hall and sketch from life. We will finish back at the hall. Painting with watercolour and sketching with pencil is a challenging yet wonderful way to render the landscape being light weight and water based. Professional landscape artist and experienced tutor of over 15 years Ochre Lawson, will facilitate the workshop with demonstrations of different watercolour techniques using both pencil and watercolour. She will also talk about different master artists and how they interpreted the landscape with watercolour.
