10:00 - 16:00

Level: Beginner and up

In this fun workshop we will explore a variety of ways to work with watercolours, covering a wide range of techniques to create colourful illustrative images full of textures, layers and pattern. We will play with resists, printed shapes, mark-making, linework, a smattering of spattering and a bit of bling! During the course of the day we’ll produce a number of reference sheets and at least two paintings. There will be lots of demos & step-by-step instruction in this fun and informal workshop. 

What to bring:

• Several sheets of heavy watercolour paper (approx. 220gsm) whatever size you like to work at.

• Drawing pencil; low-tack masking tape, dip pen if you have one, (the tutor will also bring some)

• Watercolours– whatever you have – if buying specially just buy primary colours (ideally Ultramarine, Pthalo blue, Cadmium Yellow pale, Cadmium red, Permanent Rose) If you like to work on a large scale tube watercolours are better than pans.
