Working With Watercolour Workshop | Tanya Baily | Expressive Colour in Watercolour
This course has no current classes. Please the waiting list.
Course Overview
Extend your palettes and understand how colour can be used in interesting and unconventional ways to give paintings more meaning and mood in this one-day workshop.
Workshop theme: The Colour of Shadows and Capturing Light
Students will work from images of their own, using different watercolour techniques and palettes to discover expressive possibilities. Tanya will guide students towards experimentation and imaginative use of colour. Students will use wet-in-wet techniques and the unique qualities of transparent overlaid washes in watercolour, and understand the effect of different papers and pigments. Inspiration will come from such artists as the Hermansburg School of Artists, as well as John Pendergast, Paul Klee and August Macke.
What to expect
Each workshop is designed around particular themes and goals, with exercises and ideas to practice a full range of watercolour techniques. You will learn the methods of the masters and of contemporary artists, and Tanya will guide you to develop your own style.
Workshop Delivery
This workshop will be studio-based with students working from still-lives in the studio or from photographic images
