Sketching Marlborough College in Watercolour
49,50 TUTOR: Jonathan Newey
This course will show you how to sketch the beautiful grounds
and varied buildings of Marlborough College using the versatile medium of
watercolour. You will be shown how to sketch with watercolour and in
conjunction with other mediums such as pencil and pen. You will work from
photographs and will also be sketching outside in the grounds of the College,
weather permitting. No previous experience is needed and all tools and
materials will be supplied in a kit form that you will be able to take home
with you at the end of the week.
(The following
agenda is flexible and includes time for students to practice the exercises)
There will be
opportunities to sketch outside nearly every day (weather permitting) so please
bring suitable clothing. Sketching stools are available but please feel free to
