2-hour Watercolour Workshop: Wet Streets and Reflections
Level - Intermediate
Join us for a calm and creative online Line & Wash workshop, where you’ll learn how to capture a rainy city street full of soft reflections and gentle light. We’ll begin by sketching the scene using pen, building the composition step-by-step. You’ll learn how to create texture in buildings and trees, work confidently with perspective, and use hatching to suggest detail without overworking your drawing.
Once the sketch is complete, we’ll bring the scene to life using watercolour. You’ll explore how colour temperature and tonal values can create depth, atmosphere and contrast — and how to use them to suggest wet pavements and glowing reflections.
This Line & Wash approach is a favourite technique among urban sketchers worldwide, loved for its immediacy and expressiveness. It’s ideal for quick sketches on location and for capturing places in a loose and personal way.
This is a 2-hour prerecorded online session, with full demonstration and clear step-by-step guidance.
Included in the price: individual feedback on your finished painting.
After completing your artwork, simply send a photo to: kasia.wiercinska.art@gmail.com
