More info about the course:
We will spend the morning indoors at Sedgwick Village Hall considering ways to capture reflections and record moving water, investigating techniques with watercolour paint, or using acrylic paints if preferred, as well as watersoluble drawing media. After lunch we venture out to the riverside (weather permitting) to sketch and paint from life, putting theories and techniques into practice and develop ways to use materials effectively.
The emphasis is very much on practical individual experience and your tutor will guide and support you throughout the day.
Meeting point is Sedgwick Village Hall, approx. 4 miles south of Kendal. You will find the village hall located off the main road in Sedgwick down an alleyway between houses. Please park on the road in the village and walk the short distance to the Hall. Post Code LA8 OJU.
