Course Overview

Wanting to paint with watercolour but either struggling to begin or getting confused and dispirited? Then this hands-on workshop is for you.

Workshop theme: The Colour of Shadows and Capturing Light

In a structured day of demonstrations and practical exercises, Tanya will guide you through the essential techniques of watercolour and how this beautiful medium works. You will learn how to manage bleeds and blends working in wet and dry, how to organise a palette and mix colours froma  limited number of pigments. You will learn about the different pigments, brushes and paper and will finish the day with the confidence to tackle subjects of your choice.
