Painting Outdoors - Watercolour Workshop - Townscapes

Watercolour Workshop suitable for Beginners - Townscapes, Wednesday 27th August 2025, from 10am - 2pm

Art is a great activity to encourage mindfulness, relaxation and of course creativity.

During this workshop we will be exploring and experimenting sketching with watercolour pencils and also painting with watercolours.

This is a four hour workshop where we will be painting with watercolour paints outdoors, visiting the stunning surroundings of the Sudbury Townscape.

In this workshop we will be covering the rules of composition, perspective, mixing colours, light and shade by observing the change of the atmosphere with the change of the natural light. We will be using wet on wet, dry on wet and other watercolour techniques.

Having a portable easel and a good set of watercolour pencils, paints, brushes, very good quality watercolour paper, and a small stool for sitting will be essential to have for this workshop. If you have any questions regarding materials please ask.

Though we will learn the basics of sketching and painting with watercolour, most of all we will try to have fun by exploring different watercolour techniques.

Please meet at West Suffolk College Sudbury first, where you will then walk to a lovely spot in Sudbury Town.

Anyone who is under the age of 18 must been supervised by their parent or guardian.

Please note we run all our courses based on a minimum number of participants.

In the unfortunate event of poor weather this event will run from the classroom at the college.
