Join acclaimed watercolour artist Richard Burton for a wonderful four-night watercolour masterclass at the beautiful Cober Hill mansion house, just outside Scarborough. This immersive residential is designed for artists of all abilities who want to develop their watercolour skills in a supportive and inspiring environment. Set against the stunning North Yorkshire coastline and countryside, the course beautifully combines outdoor sketching with studio-based painting, allowing you to capture the landscape while refining your technique indoors. Each day you will enjoy two dedicated painting sessions (morning and afternoon). Richard will demonstrate a wide range of watercolour techniques and work through new paintings, exploring the expressive possibilities of the medium. You will then have time to apply what you’ve learned to your own work, with plenty of individual guidance and support from Richard throughout. What you will explore: - Mastering water control, washes, and glazing - Wet-in-wet and wet-on-dry techniques - Creating depth, atmosphere, and texture - Capturing light and mood in landscapes and nature - Developing your own personal style Whether you are a beginner looking to build strong foundations or an experienced painter wanting to loosen up and work more expressively, Richard’s encouraging approach will help you make real progress during the week.
