During this four-day watercolour and gouache masterclass with Jeremy Ford you'll embark on a comprehensive exploration of watercolour and gouache, two versatile and expressive mediums. This masterclass is designed to welcome artists of all skill levels - whether you're a complete beginner picking up a brush for the first time or an experienced painter looking to deepen your skills.

Hosted primarily indoors, the course offers a comfortable and focused setting, with the exciting possibility of stepping outside for reference work if the weather permits, adding a touch of spontaneity to your creative process.

The journey begins with understanding the fundamental properties of these paints - how they flow, blend, and layer on paper. You'll learn essential techniques for paint handling, such as creating smooth washes, building rich textures with layering, and adding fine details with precision.

Jeremy's expert instruction will guide you through each step, ensuring you gain confidence in manipulating these mediums to achieve a wide range of effects. As the course progresses, you'll follow Jeremy's unique step-by-step approach to painting a diverse array of subjects.

From serene landscapes to a vibrant still life, you'll have the opportunity to apply your newfound skills in practical, hands-on projects. You'll explore the principles of colour theory and learn how to mix and apply colours effectively using a carefully curated selection of pigments.

Check in from 3pm on Monday 17th November 2025.
