Join popular North Yorkshire watercolour artist Andrew Storrie for an intensive and inspiring two-day watercolour workshop at Henshaws Arts & Craft Centre in Knaresbrough. Andrew is a highly regarded watercolourist known for his fresh, atmospheric, and expressive style.

Andrew specialises in capturing the landscapes and coastline of North Yorkshire with a loose, confident approach that emphasises light, mood and spontaneity. This two-day workshop is perfect for beginners and improvers who want to develop their watercolour skills in a short but focused period. Each day you will work on a new watercolour painting under Andrew’s guidance. The workshop will feature clear demonstrations of key techniques followed by plenty of time for you to paint and receive individual support. Andrew will guide you through different approaches each day, helping you to build confidence and get a better grasp of the medium. Techniques you will explore include: - Wet-in-wet and wet-on-dry methods - Beautiful soft washes and glazing techniques - Effective colour mixing and harmonious palettes - Creating texture and expressive marks - Capturing light, atmosphere, and mood in the landscape - Loose, confident brushwork and strong composition Set in the inspiring surroundings of Henshaws, you’ll have the opportunity to sketch outdoors (weather permitting) and develop your work in the well-lit studios. By the end of the two days, you will have completed two finished paintings and gained valuable new skills to take forward in your watercolour journey. This is an excellent opportunity to build confidence, learn new techniques, and enjoy the creative process alongside like-minded artists in a welcoming environment. Whether you’ve never picked up a watercolour brush before or you’re looking to improve and refine your skills, Andrew’s course will leave you feeling inspired and more confident in your painting.
