Extended Tutorial: The Tool Shed in watercolour

In this painting, we will be working on an amazing collection of vintage gardening tools that can be seen at Parham House and Gardens, West Sussex. You will create a range of different textures, including rusty metal, stone and wood grain, as we recreate each of the different elements. We will look at the subtle changes of hues and use a limited palette to achieve a timeworn appearance.

You can also read the step-by-step tutorial on the blog or on page 60 of the Spring 2025 issue of Paint & Create.
