Course Description

Overview: This full day (10am - 3pm) ink and watercolour workshop is suitable for you if you have some experience of painting in watercolour and/or ink and would like to explore creating textures with the lovely granulation technique. After a time to explore and have a play with colour and techniques, you’ll be guided step by step to create a couple of atmospheric and beautifully textured paintings to take home with you. You'll explore some fun techniques (ink, granulation medium, wax resist and spatter) as well as practising more traditional washes and wet on wet painting. The emphasis of the workshop is very much on play and exploration. What to bring: All materials are provided so you just need to bring yourself; however, an apron and/or old clothes and something to take your lovely painting(s) home with you would also be useful. If would like to bring along some sketches or photos of your own to base your painting on then that is of course fine. As lunch is not provided, please also bring a packed lunch.
