Try your hand at “Pen and wash” – the creation of a pen and ink sketch tinted with a wash of watercolour – with landscape artist John Harrison. You will start the day with an introduction to John’s particular style of line and wash, by watching a demonstration in stages, which stresses the importance he places on drawing and sketching.

You will then move on to complete the same subject working from reference photos that will be supplied.

Open to all, but a bit of prior drawing and painting experience is preferable.

What to expect

Time at ArtisOn is designed to take you away from it all. We provide the environment, the time and the guidance you need to create. You can expect a warm welcome, skilled and friendly tutors and the chance to meet like-minded people keen to share ideas. You can even leave us to clear up the mess! There will usually be two workshops going on and we encourage everyone to mingle and be nosey about what the other workshop is up to.

We encourage you to arrive at 9.30am. This will allow time to meet other participants over a cup of tea or coffee and biscuits before beginning workshops at 10am. There will be a mid-morning break for refreshments and a chance to talk over progress with others. Lunch is usually around 12:45 for about 45 mins – you can expect a delicious homemade 2 course lunch. There will be a further afternoon break with tea or coffee and cake. All food and refreshments are included in the price of your workshop.

The finish time given is a target. There are occasions when the session may overrun so do let us know if you need to be away promptly.

We aim for your day to be a real treat. You could always learn a new skill in a shed or a draughty village hall with a curly sandwich, but we want you to have more fun than that! So we make sure we provide a day where you will be looked after, with good food, good company and great inspiration!

What you’ll need to bring with you

You will need your watercolour paints, good quality watercolour paper or pad ( at least 300g with a rough finish, or cold pressed, definitely not Hot pressed- which will be too smooth), brushes, a 2B pencil and a waterproof ink pen or two. John will have his preferred brand of ink pens available to buy on the day.
