Watercolour for Beginners
Description
*** New class offer! This is the first time we are running this workshop and as such the exercises and structure of the weekend has not been formally tested ***
This two-day watercolour painting workshop is best suited to complete beginners and those who are getting back into painting after a long hiatus. It will cover a range of fundamental techniques that are beneficial to new watercolour artists.
On Day 1, you will be introduced to watercolour materials and a recommended studio setup. We will explore tonal values, water control, and create a series of small abstract studies to practise these techniques.
On Day 2, we will explore colour mixing, layering and blending techniques in order to create form. You will apply the lessons learnt from the weekend on a small watercolour study to take home.
There will be demonstrations and one-on-one guidance throughout the weekend. All required painting materials will be supplied. There will be an hour lunch break in the afternoon on both days.
