We’ll begin at Dukes, where you’ll be provided with sketchbooks, pencils and pens, before exploring a few simple and effective drawing techniques to build confidence and loosen up your sketching style.
From there, we’ll take a gentle walk to Seafield Pond at Belhaven for approximately two hours of en plein air sketching, taking inspiration from the landscape, water and surrounding nature.
On returning to Dukes, we’ll move on to an introduction to watercolour painting, covering essential materials, techniques and approaches. Using the sketches, photographs and visual references gathered during the morning, you’ll then create a finished landscape watercolour painting.
All materials are included.
And, as this is Scotland, if the weather is less than ideal, there will be plenty of reference photographs available to work from indoors. You’re also very welcome to bring along your own photographs, iPad or other reference images if you wish.
Tutor: Carmen Ambrozevich is an award-winning artist, former tutor at Edinburgh Printmakers, and a professional member of both Society of Scottish Artists and Visual Arts Scotland.
