Enjoy a relaxing day of flower painting. I will demonstrate how to paint the flower and mix greens using the traditional pure watercolour techniques of wet on wet, dry on dry and wet on dry. You can then apply the techniques in your own flower painting and I will give individual guidance to each participant.
During the demonstrations, I explain my process step-by-step and I will show you various techniques and methods for creating different effects with watercolours. I will also provide tips and tricks for using different brushes, paints, and paper. One of the great things about attending a demonstration is that you can see the techniques being used in real-time and ask questions during the demonstration. You will be able to paint the project with I will give individual guidance and encouragement.
You will produce a finished painting to take home along with a professionally printed step by step booklet explaining the techniques used during the workshop.
