‘Buildings in the Landscape’ using Line and Wash – with John Harrison

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

John’s favoured subject matter features built structures in the wider landscape, exploring the contrast between the man-made and the natural. Largely self-taught, he doesn’t consider himself a painter, but uses the unpredictable yet exciting medium of watercolour to highlight his drawings. He is an active Urban Sketcher, and runs many workshops and classes, details of which are posted on his website. His work is in many private collections both in the UK and internationally, he undertakes commissions both private and corporate and has just come to the end of a year-long monthly feature in the Dalesman. Suitable for all abilities.

Dates for this course – see the table below to book:

You may take either one or two days, John will vary the course each time he visits to ensure those taking both days are not repeating anything.

Thursday 10th April ’24 ~ Friday 11th April ’24

Typically this course runs with around 10 students

Please bring:  We will send you list of What to Bring for your day, this will include watercolour paints, good quality watercolour paper or pad( at least 300g with a rough finish, or cold pressed, definitely not Hot pressed-too smooth), brushes, a 2B pencil and a waterproof ink pen. John will have his preferred brand of ink pen available to buy on the day.
