The course was fabulous. Toby and Colin really gave their all and I learned so much from them both.  Not just some  techniques but also how to have the confidence to try. 

I have gone from being a complete beginner who didn’t like to get her sketch book out of her bag in company to being a person who can go out and have a go at  sketching and painting  anything outside all day long.  This all happened in one weekend. I never thought I would start sketching over breakfast! 

I had a great time with two inspiring teachers (and a friendly group of people); helping us to lose our inhibitions about urban sketching. As someone who usually does art in solitude at home, this weekend has encouraged me to get out and do some sketching outdoors.  It has also helped me to develop a looser approach to sketching.

This course has given me more freedom to be loose, and flow more with my line drawing. I found the perspective tips very helpful. The continuous line technique is a wonderful skill for me to continue to explore now I am home. Toby and Colin’s different uses of watercolour was fascinating and I will be playing with both styles to incorporate them and eventually find my own way. 

I would definitely join another weekend of learning and connecting with great people.
