Beginners & Refreshers Watercolour

Last week we had a very successful Beginners & Refreshers Watercolour class with Claire.

First thing is learning about the paints, brushes, papers and mixing

Claire demonstrates in a step by step style and offers plenty of support throughout the day

There were lots of techniques in this painting of a misty morning, washes, reflections, shadows, trees, foliage and creating the mist itself.

Below are the finished works of art ...

Pen and Wash In the Garden Day

When Claire and I planned this class many months ago, calling it 'In the Garden', we didn't expect to actually be able to be outside in the garden sketching!

I sent everyone an email saying hats and suncream, we are heading outside!

We found plenty of shady little spots for our artists to settle and make little pen sketches of flowers, plants, trees and even the house!

It was an incredibly chilled day, although Claire was kept busy having a larger area to get round and see everyone.

Once the sketches had been done, some watercolour washes were applied over the top.

Great practice for summer holiday sketchbooks!

Well done everyone and thank you sunshine!
