In-person learning

Derwent Inktense is a fantastic medium for creating artwork both indoors and outdoors. Bright and vibrant, Derwent Inktense pencils are similar to watercolour pencils, except they dry permanent like ink. This 4-week, in-person course continues from the popular “Painting Nature in Derwent Inktense” and you will need to have done this course first, either at Umborne Bridge Studio or online here.
