TEXTURE IN WATERCOLOUR 07/06/2019

Service Description

Learn how to create textured rivulet effects in watercolour with sedimentary pigments and granulation medium, this workshop will help you create more poetry than prose in your paintings by replacing detail with texture, your paintings will be more suggestive, and less illustrative with this approach. In addition, students will learn a dry brushstroke technique useful in describing the broken edges of clouds and foliage in a loose way. We will begin the day by practicing technique before making any application to a finished painting. These workshops are highly structured and progressive, and designed to leave the student knowing exactly what they are supposed to be doing in detail. This workshop is aimed at those who are competent in watercolour application, but would like to add another technique to their toolbox.
