WORKSHOP: Capturing City Life in Line and Watercolour: with Paul Cox RWS

In this workshop you will learn how to respond to a busy and vibrant city scene using line and watercolour. Working initially on location in the heart of central London, you will be encouraged to capture the essence of a place in your own unique way.

Taking inspiration from topographical artists and the way they document figures and architecture, you will use Charing Cross Road as your base, but you will be encouraged to find your own perspective and view point. Whilst on location, Paul Cox will demonstrate his own methods and you will learn to work in a spontaneous and brisk way. In the morning you will be based on location and in the afternoon you will produce a finished drawing back in the gallery, based on the studies produced earlier in the day.

This workshop is designed for individuals with a basic understanding of drawing and watercolour. You must be comfortable working outside for the first half of the day.

This workshop will take place at the new RWS Gallery on Whitcomb Street, just off Trafalgar Square.

All bookings are non-refundable.
