Online Learning 2022
Upcoming Online Workshop
June 17, 18, 2022
I’m delighted to offer online opportunities for you to learn botanical watercolour painting with me.
During our online workshop we will slow down,
taking time to really look at the bright, fresh and vibrant colours
of the changing seasons. Using first wet and then dry
watercolour painting techniques
we will experience the mindful process
of botanical art while learning to capture
the beauty of Summer poppies.
Demonstrations will include:
-
colour mixing and matching,
-
capturing light and shade,
-
layering of colours,
-
painting fine detail
-
finishing with a WOW!
To make the experience as stress free as possible,
I will provide an image and a line drawing of a
simple plant subject for anyone who wishes to use it.
For those who choose to draw their own subject,
I’ll suggest a simple subject.
Students will have time to do some
observational drawing in the class.
Each workshop will happen over
two days – 4 hours per day.
