10:00 - 16:00

Level: Intermediate

This is not a workshop covering traditional watercolour techniques. Working small we will use highly granulating watercolours in a very loose way, letting the watercolour do its own thing and generate amazing textures.  We will also see how some pigments can be influenced by a magnet. 

Additional marks or collage can then be added to the granulated watercolour washes to create imaginary semi-abstract landscapes.

There will be the option of framing one of your miniature paintings at the end of the day, at an additional cost for frame and framing materials of £12, payable to the tutor on the day.

What to bring:

• A packed lunch

• Large brush - a mop if you have one but a large flat or round brush will do

• Smallish round brush (or two) - about a size 12

• An old toothbrush

• Palette

• An apron

Feel free to bring your own watercolours and favourite brushes and watercolour pencils/sticks if you have them. 

Included on the day:

• Granulating pigments and paper

• Expert tuition

• 1 to 1 guidance

• Detailed demonstrations

• A selection of tea, freshly brewed coffee, biscuits and delicious cakes. If you have any specific dietary requirements or allergies, please feel free to bring along your own provisions/milk alternatives etc

And of course you take your wonderful creations from the day. If you share any photographs of your day here and/or your finished work, we’d love to see them so please tag us @micklemsfarmcreativeworkshops or use the hashtag #micklemsfarmcreativeworkshops.
