Watercolour Weekend

What to expect

Watercolour is such an attractive prospect. Not too complicated, not too expensive, easy to manage at home. But so often actually using watercolours can be frustrating and disappointing. It can be so unpredictable and hard to control. But it soesn't have to be scary! In this two day workshop you will be encouraged to approach the medium more boldly, learniing to use large blocks of colour to get the painting on the move quickly. We will explore different ways of working : wet on wet and dry techniques, spraying the paper with a fine mist of water and working into slightly damp paper, even squeezing some of the pigment straight onto the paper. Having explored some new working methods you will then be able to create a composition directly from the landscape around the studio. I will be at hand to help you navigate creating a composition directly from the landscape and encourage your own creativity and confidence to flourish. We will finish the day with a look at and summary of our progress and a plan for future development.
