Learn to capture the people and places around you effectively using just line and watercolour. Various aspects of urban sketching will be explored from how to tell a visual story through annotated drawings, the use of colour and tone to give mood and perspective for depicting architecture and people. Effective methods of creating an engaging image will be explored through demonstrations followed by exercises, allowing you to try for yourself. Case studies into contemporary artists will be discussed along with the many opportunities of joining in with the global networks of artists and enthusiasts via Urbansketchers.org.

Latecomer
If a course has already started, please call the office as it may be possible to join after the start date. This may only be possible if the course is not already full, if it is not disruptive for the other students and you are aware that you have missed a percentage of the course and the tutor will not have time to catch you up. This will be at discretion of the Folk House. We run our courses termly, so it might be best to start at the beginning of the course.
