A 10-week Friday morning course in travel sketching with pencil and watercolour, with a coffee break and an optional lunch together.
Learn to capture places the way you see them: quickly, loosely and with a sketchbook you'll want to keep filling. Travel sketching is about noticing, not perfection, and this course gives you the skills and the habit.
How the term builds
We start with pencil: quick lines, proportion, perspective and simple shading so you can get a scene down fast. Then we add watercolour, learning light washes, mixing colour on the go and layering detail over a sketch. Later in the term we'll experiment with other materials to find what suits your style.
A relaxed Friday morning
Each class runs for three hours, from 10am to 1pm, with a coffee break in the middle. Afterwards the group often heads out for lunch together. It's entirely optional, but a lovely way to get to know each other.
Materials
Bring your own sketchbook and watercolour set, or buy a set from us when you book.
Adults

No. After class the group often heads out for lunch together. It's optional and everyone pays for their own.
Mostly we work in the studio, practising techniques you can take anywhere. We'll let you know ahead of time if a class heads outside.
Each week builds on the last, but you won't fall behind. We'll share what we covered so you can catch up.
No, we don't offer trial lessons. If you'd like a taste of the studio first, keep an eye on What's on for our workshops and events.
