Available spots
DESCRIPTION
17-19 SEPTEMBER 2027 | 10:00 - 4:00pm WATERCOLOUR COURSE Take a break and explore the beautiful and peaceful environment of Swaledale in the Yorkshire Dales with Paul Talbot-Greaves RI. In this three-day course you will learn some easy tips and techniques for finding subject material, you will study what to look for and understand how to arrange harmonious compositions to turn into striking paintings. Working in and around the Swaledale village of Muker and surrounding villages, we will make sketches and take photographs to build references that we will turn into finished paintings in the comfort of the village hall. There may also be opportunities to paint out on location. Please note: You will need to book your own accommodation for this course. There are plenty of BBs and holiday lets in the area, as well as the Keld Lodge hotel. Some of the course will be outdoors. Although we will try to minimise walking any distance, you may wish to bring sturdy footwear, along with warm clothes and waterproofs.
