DESCRIPTION
Bring Freshness and Freedom to Your Watercolour
Reignite the spark in your painting! This workshop is designed to help you bring freshness, clarity, and new energy to your work.
You’ll begin by exploring how to loosen up your painting style, creating watercolours that feel more spontaneous, expressive, and full of life. Through guided exercises and demonstrations, you’ll learn how to relax your technique, simplify your shapes, and paint with greater confidence.
In the second part of the workshop, you’ll expand your creative possibilities by working with a range of different surfaces. From textured papers and gessoed paper to Yupo, you’ll discover how each material can enhance the mood, texture, and character of your paintings and learn about the advantages and disadvantages of each.
Adding other mediums will also be explored to give you more versatility and choice to your creative expression.
By the end of the session, you’ll have the tools and insight to move beyond tight control and bring a fresh, contemporary vitality to your work.
