RQAS, The workshop is held upstairs but there is a lift if you have mobility issues.

We’ll start with short exercises to warm up, then complete four paintings: two landscapes and two seascapes, each looking at different challenges. 

You’ll learn to design strong compositions, create mood through skies and atmosphere, and capture light at different times of day.

Along the way, we’ll apply core watercolour techniques: wet-in-wet for skies and soft transitions, dry brush for texture and detail, and developing a looser, more energetic style that brings your work to life.
