Workshop Details

In this workshop, Jeremy will explore wet-in-wet, wet-on-dry, and damp-on-dry watercolour techniques. This is a valuable step-by-step watercolour workshop for people of any ability. Colour-mixing and colour and tonal contrasts throughout the painting are given by this demonstration, as well as overcoming common mistakes and problem-solving in watercolour.

You'll come away with a new skill, new knowledge and a sense of pride with a wonderful piece of work.
