Screen Shot 2017-10-22 at 21.07.42.png

Friday 17th May 2019

Colourful, Expressive, Loose & Splashy

Birds, Animals & People

Watercolour & Acrylics

All abilities

Please Note:

This workshop will run in Snitterfield, just outside Stratford-On-Avon.

​

Not the usual Alcester Venue.

The previous two watercolour workshops have been so popular I've decided to book in the extra one in May.

​

We will be looking at creating loose and brushy paintings of birds, animals, people, people with animals, market scene snippets etc. All with no, or very minimal background.

​

Lovely bold brushstrokes, lots of wet into wet washes and lots of colour is the mission on this day.

All mixed with just the right amount of detail in a few select places

​

​

This approach works equally well with watercolour, acrylics and even inks.

Rather than aiming to complete just one painting in a day, we will be looking to keep things relatively fresh and quick, with hopefully at least 2 or 3 paintings throughout the day, as well as a couple of smaller warmup exercises that can often result in some really great finished results.
