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 ...

9:30am - approx 3pm

Beginners and Refreshers Watercolour

It was a beautiful sight yesterday morning to see a mother deer and her two little ones eating at the bottom of the garden!

We had a group of Beginner and Refresher artists in yesterday

Claire spends the first part of the morning explaining about brushes, paper and paints.

Everyone can then have a play with the water and paints, watching how it moves, creating different shades of colour, working out how much pigment is needed to create stunning colours.

Today's painting was a lovely blue door, touching on plant pots and hanging baskets, pathways and brickwork.

There were some great Blue Doors!
