A workshop for anyone wanting to explore the exciting potential of contemporary watercolour – embracing experimentation, overcoming fear, and enjoying the adventure of it all.
We’ll look at different artists who use watercolours, explore various techniques, and discuss the elements that make up a great work.
Technical applications and processes will be demonstrated to highlight the possibilities of this medium and to achieve the expression you are looking for, or to inject new possibilities into your current practice.
Part of each session will be spent sharing inspiration and ideas and exploring new methods of application with fun exercises. You’ll then have time to work on a painting with full concentration.
This is a supportive, explorative, fun workshop, where you’ll have the space to work on your practice with like-minded people. The class is suitable for beginners, or for those with some basic painting experience, though not necessarily with watercolour.
