WATERCOLOUR PORTRAIT – ONLINE COURSE WITH ARTIST MARK ENTWISLE – JULY 2026

We are hugely excited to working with the award winning artist Mark Entwisle for a new online course!

Mark is a prolific watercolourist- working in landscape, still life and figurative painting. His specialism is depicting light- and his portraits capture a luminosity in the sitter which is wonderfully delicate. Combining both control and the fluidity of this complex medium – Marks portraits are beautifully observed and expressive.

Mark is a fantastic tutor – with so much to offer with regard to technique and handling of colour and paint. This course is demonstration led- so you will work along with Mark as he demonstrates techniques to create a portrait from a photograph. We will begin the course with how to handle watercolour with demonstrations on colour mixing, water and brush techniques – and then move into building portraits, gradually moving through layering and masking- building space and colour to create luminosity in your painting.

The course is full of demonstrations with plenty of feedback and practical advice- a great opportunity to build you skills and confidence in watercolour.

Mark Entwisle- originally an illustrator- had a portrait accepted for the BP Portrait Award at the National Portrait Gallery in 1999, with a second accepted the following year and received a commendation in 2002. This led to his first portrait commission and marked the start of his career as a portrait painter. Mark currently lives and works in London. More about Mark here

Recordings will be provided after each session- so you can rewatch/ catch up/ pause/ recap and rewind – with access for two months after the course.
