What attendees will learn:

Learn how watercolour truly behaves and how to use that to your advantage. This hands-on session covers essential techniques and brush skills, plus a dive into paint consistency so you can control your paint with confidence.

We’ll be covering the following knowledge and techniques:

Watercolour paper
Dilution
Wet and Dry applications
Washes – solid and gradients
Lifting
Layering
Fades/Shading
You’ll get a chance to practice each of the techniques during the workshop and go home with notes to refer back to.

Materials supplied by facilitator:

All materials will be supplied but if you’d like to practice with your own watercolours it’s recommended you bring them along.

For beginners, I recommend the PrimeArt Iris watercolour 12 colour set or the Aquafine Travel Set. If a student can afford more, I usually recommend the Daniel Smith Primary Mixing Set or individual colours from the W & N Cotman, Daler-Rowney Aquafine, Daniel Smith and Schmincke watercolour ranges as they are more pigmented and artist quality.

What you need to bring: An apron and your own materials if you already have them and want to practice with them rather.
