Watercolours- the basics NOTE CHANGE OF DATE!

This session is to help those of you who haven't used watercolours before or don't feel confident, to practise laying down washes, experience wet in wet and wet on dry and so on, to work out how to keep colours clean, how to create rich shades and how to layer colours. We'll use some images for you to use as inspiration for a simple landscape, after we've practised the basics and you feel more confident.

If you have your own watercolours and watercolour brushes do bring them along so you can learn to use them. The same goes for watercolour paper- if you have some you want to use, please bring it. Please let me know if you are planning on bringing your own materials so I know how much to provide!

I will provide baords and tape for everyone whether or not you want to use your own materials.

This is a relaxing and fun workshop and all about havinig a go and experimenting and not worrying too much about the final piece: you've got the rest of your life to play with watercolours. We think of them as starter paints but iin reality they can be very challenging and very exciting! So come along and start on your watercolour journey!

As usual hot drinks and cake is included to keep up your energy levels!

I look forward to seeing you there!
