SUMMER: Watercolour with Jo Dalgety
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.
NB: Please remember to bring materials from the course "materials list" online.
Materials list
Contemporary Watercolour - with Jo Dalgety
A basic kit of materials to get you up and going is listed here. Specialist art shops are the best option and will provide student discounts if you mention that you are attending the school.
The stores we recommend are:
• Studio Art Supplies: Crummer Road, Grey Lynn.
• The French Art Shop: Taylors Road, Morningside (beside Briscoes)
• Gordon Harris: Gillies Avenue, Newmarket and Symonds Street, Auckland Central
• Takapuna Art Supplies: online or 498 Peak Road, Kaukapakapa
What to bring:
Watercolour paints of your choice: a set with a range of colours from tubes or blocks (pans). Both tube colours and pans are good, just personal preference.
Watercolour brushes of your choice: at least 2 different size brushes e.g. a 'round' brush and a 'mop' or 'flat' brush for washes. Recommend: Da Vinci Casaneo watercolour brushes are synthetic fibre brushes with great fluid-holding capacity but less expensive than natural hair brushes. The Da Vinci Cosmotop Spin range is also good. See https://www.gordonharris.co.nz/blog/85-which-brush-for-what-colour-
Painter’s tape: delicate (purple coloured tape).
Watercolour paper: 300gsm paper (Hahnemühle Britannia matte is a good, inexpensive choice) - postcard size (A6), A5 and A4.
We’ll use the postcard size and A5 for exercises and experimentation, and the larger size for more composed work. So plenty of the smaller sizes.
Palette – needs to be able to hold water, your paint set may have one.
Notebook and pen, pencil
Old shirt or apron
