DYNAMIC WATERCOLOUR- ONLINE FIGURATIVE PAINTING COURSE
·OnlineOnlineColour, action, gesture!
Join Josie Deighton for a fast paced contemporary figurative watercolour course which with inject your painting with electricity!The key to successful watercolour is confidence in handling paint and we will be hitting that sweet-spot between freedom and control through four sessions of explorative painting – using a combination of watercolour with complementary mixed media to create dynamic paintings that you can easily take into the life room and apply to your studio practice.
We will look at mixed media approaches and techniques with watercolour- using wax, highlighter, coloured pencil, ink and masking fluid as well as specific paint handling techniques, such as dry brushing, wet on wet, how to work in and lift out sections. Sessions will be demonstration lead- with lots of interaction and feedback at multiple stages throughout each session.
This course could complement your existing watercolour practice or be an introduction to the medium. It is accessible for everyone from beginner to intermediate. The class sizes are small and informal allowing for questions and checking in as we go along.
Sessions are recorded allowing for playback and pausing should you miss a session or a section.

LIFE DRAWING & ANATOMY – SILVERPOINT & CONTE: WITH DOLPH VAN EDEN: 7 NOV 2026
Artizan Street Library & Community Centre, 1 Artizan St, London E1 7AF, UK, London, GBJoin fine artist and London Drawing tutor Dolph Van Eden for a day of fine drawing and detail using the beautifully delicate medium of silverpoint and the brilliantly versatile conte
We will work from the model with descriptive mark making and tone to describe the finer detail of the body using the lovely fluid medium of Silverpoint- preparing paper and exploring the potential of this medium can really build your observational skill and finer control in drawing.
We will also use conte to render stronger tones and explore anatomy and tone in more depth
Dolph is a master of anatomy - and has so much to share with regard to the subject. Learning more about anatomy is the key to achieving a strong physicality in your drawing, and is so good for creating images which feel real and 3 dimensional. Learn about tone and building volume and physicality creating layers of tone and markmaking.
With plenty of demonstrations and individual tuition - this is a great day of drawing exploration for all abilities
