SAA Live - Jo Allsopp Workshop - Highland Cow in Watercolour & Ink

Who does not love wildlife? Jo’s favourite subjects to paint are animals – usually big, with bold colours and a loose painterly style, capturing mooovement and moooood (pardon the puns)!

On this workshop, you will lightly sketch in pencil an outline of a highland cow, omitting detail where you can.  You’ll then be using lots of wet into wet watercolour to create some initial patterns and blooms.  Continuing on with glazing and layering techniques to build up your highland cow before completing with a rigger brush and ink for the finer details (and a bit of spatter for good measure!).
