WORKSHOPS PAINTSHOPS
Until further notice Workshop and Paintshops will be scheduled by request only and limited to one per month
Our Watercolour Workshops and one day Paintshops are an adventure into the wonderful world of watercolours! They are fun but still serious, no pressure and a great foundation for learning to effectively manipulate your watercolours to achieve successful results.
"Sharing my love and knowledge of watercolours;
encouraging students to “play” not just paint; seeing them gain confidence developing important foundation skills; and nurturing their creativity to try techniques outside their comfort zone, gives me immense pleasure!"
Margaret Nock Rodriguez

“There were many valuable things that I learnt as this was my first art lesson. I learnt about materials and techniques, light and dark and glazing. The accommodation was comfortable and I appreciated that the group was small so we each had lots of individual attention” Ann

As you continue to develop the techniques learnt in WS1, becoming more comfortable manipulating your brush and in tune with the intensity and fluidity of your watercolour pigments, you will be amazed at how easily you can create volume and depth by learning how to portray light and shadow on simple objects. This workshop is the next step in developing your personal style and an opportunity to learn to LET IT FLOW! Watercolour paper and some materials will be supplied.

Having gained experience using different types of washes and creating volume in simple shapes, you will transfer those skills into developing several floral scenes. The focus will be on maintaining white spaces while enhancing your story of volume and depth by using light against dark, dropping in crevice darks and adding selective punches of colour. Less is more and knowing when to put down your brush can be a challenge! Watercolour paper and some materials will be supplied.
“Great personalized instruction and covered a lot of information. The most valuable thing I learnt was to have a plan then think about the white/light because you can’t add the white later and the hardest thing to grasp was mixing a “juicy” colour with just the right amount of water.
Mine was often too wet.” Mimi
