Texture in Art with Claire

We recently held a Textures Art Class using watercolour pencils, pen and wash.

Claire had some great images and photos of old doors and ironmongery with peeling paintwork, crumbly stone surrounds, old steps and brickwork, each one told a great story.

Having drawn out the door, a gentle wash was applied, some texture paste was also put to show brick and stone work, then bit by bit the watercolour pencils were used to add colour and structure to the painting.

Here are some of the art materials we used at class.

After a break for some delicious lunch of pesto salmon served with giant couscous and roasted vegetables, the afternoon was spent finishing off everyone's various creations.
