Line Drawing & Watercolour Workshop with John Harrison
Try your hand at “line and wash” – the creation of a pen and ink sketch tinted with a wash of coloured ink or watercolour – with Yorkshire artist John Harrison. Start the day with an introduction to John’s particular style of line and wash, and the importance he places on drawing and sketching. This will be followed by a group exercise to get your drawing into gear, then you'll move on to a full-blown piece working from reference photos supplied and utilising the techniques described by John, who will offer advice, hints and tips throughout the session. Depending on the speed at which you are happiest working, there will be an opportunity to
start (or even complete) a second piece, again choosing from a further selection of reference
photos supplied.
John's work is in many private collections both in the UK and internationally, and recently appeared on the Channel 5 revival of Watercolour Challenge.
This workshop is suitable for beginners and experienced artists.
All necessary reference material for the exercises and paintings will be provided - you will just need the tools for your painting:
- Watercolour paints
- Watercolour paper or pad (at least 300g with a rough finish)
- Brushes
- Soft (2B) pencil
- A waterproof ink pen
Waterproof ink pens and Saunders Waterford 300g rough paper will be available for purchase on the day.
A light lunch and refreshments are also included.
