Ink & Watercolour Sketchalongs

Ink & Watercolour Sketchalongs

Weds 6pm-9pm or Fri 10am-1pm -£35

Discover architectural sketching through the combination of ink and watercolour. These workshops are designed for anyone with a passion for drawing, urban spaces, and the built environment—whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned sketcher.

Guided step by step, you’ll learn how to:

  • Capture the character and proportions of buildings.
  • Use watercolour washes to bring depth, light, and atmosphere to your sketches.
  • Develop a personal sketching style.

There are two types of workshops. One for beginners, working from a pre-printed design, we focus on the ink and watercolour techniques. Then a workshop for improvers where we start from scratch, learning observation and sketching techniques, followed by the ink and watercolour. 

Working from both photographs and real-world locations, we will explore a variety of architectural subjects over time—from sweeping cityscapes to hidden courtyards and intricate details. 

By the end of the workshop, you’ll not only have a finished painting, but also the confidence and techniques to continue sketching architecture wherever you go. All materials and light refreshments provided.
