2 Day | Saturday 7 – Sunday 8 September 2024
LOOKING FOR THE PICTURE WITHIN THE SCENE – SOLD OUT please click the email link below if you would like to go on the waiting list Seeing the painting before you start. Do you start out on a journey without checking the map, the weather, or your gear before you depart? Set yourself up for success with thoughtful planning before you pick up your brushes. Painting is divided into two parts. First the Concept, second the Technique. Planning the composition, deciding on the tonal values with rapid sketching, and colour esquisses. What techniques to use to get the result you want. We will study the 3 attributes of colour, colour perspective, and the use of complementary colours. Working quickly with limited time can be challenging but it is the best way to encourage spontaneity, freshness and looseness, leaving out unnecessary detail. After all watercolour is a medium that must be worked quickly and boldly. All levels |
4 Day | Monday 9 – Thursday 12 September 2024
SEEING THE ‘DIFFERENT’ PICTURE – 2 places left! When you find your picture and have a clear plan of what you want to express, the motif, the mood and the atmosphere, you reach into your kit bag of techniques to choose how you are going to paint it. Each day of the four day programme will see the class completing at least two paintings a day. Perspective, scaling and the creation of distance. I’ll show you how to get your perspective right and it will give your painting the professional look. This workshop guide students to create in their own style with ‘brush in hand’ most of the time - less talking, more painting! Some laughing. Intermediate |
