J.M.W Turner inspired Watercolour Classes

Have you been inspired to paint by our Turner: In Light and Shade exhibition?

Join our monthly workshop series and develop your watercolour painting technique, influenced by the work of J.M.W Turner. Perfect for beginners through to those refreshing their painting skills, this monthly workshop hosted by In Demand MCR draws on Turner’s masterful use of light and colour.

Begin with some guided exercises, including mixing and mark-making techniques, enjoy some painting in Whitworth Park (weather permitting!) then head back indoors for some informal discussion as a group.

Paper and pencils will be provided.
