Soulful Skies in Emma Burleigh

Soulful Skies with Emma Burleigh

Saturday 8th November 2025

10am – 4pm

Attic Studio

All abilities welcome, including beginners

From soft orange sunrises to deep Prussian-blue nights, the sky is ever changing and always there for us, offering inspiration and fascination to those who look. Over his lifetime, the artist William Turner filled hundreds of sketchbooks with delicate watercolour studies of cloudy, moody, ethereal and atmospheric skies. In ancient times the skies foretold the moods of the gods, and from the age of Stonehenge to the present day, the sky has always been a stimulus for questions, imaginings, and interpretations.

You will explore the unique qualities of watercolour to convey atmosphere and feeling. You'll experiment with this exquisite medium in combination with a mix of simple household materials to create skies from observation and imagination. Suitable for complete beginners and also for those wishing to develop their capacity for expression and experimentation in watercolour.
