About

This Sketching and Watercolour (Stage 1) course from Arts University Bournemouth offers a hands-on approach to the world of sketching or ‘art on the go’. Ideal for all levels and abilities, it provides a relaxed way to build upon your drawing skills whilst enjoying the environment around you.

Overview

Key facts

Sketching and drawing is fundamental to everything we do and throughout history every great artist and designer has kept a sketch book. A personal visual ‘journal’, it offers a place to experiment, record special moments or work through your ideas for a more advanced project.

In this highly creative 10-week course you’ll release your personal style through using different mediums and methods of creating traditional art.

During the Sketching and Watercolour (Stage 1) course from Arts University Bournemouth you will explore the fundamentals of drawing and observation including how to capture spontaneous and honest moments. You will use a variety of materials and techniques including pencils, watercolour and charcoal looking at genres such as landscape, botanical, objects and animals.
