Monday 12 – Friday 16 January 2026
This fun workshop will give participants a greater range of styles for painting watercolours with experimental techniques. Unexpected but lovely results will be created. Colour balance, composition, cropping and negative painting with gouache will help resolve the abstract effects.
Some techniques are based on the work of Ann Blockley, while others are inspired by Lena Gemzoe, Tony Smibert and other artists.
