Look and Learn
My October and November workshops are here!!! These are the dates so far, but let me know if you would like a different date and I'll see what I can do.
October is Clay and you will be making your very own clay Bunny, or Wobbly Home tea light holder. They are a two and a half hour workshops and there is the option to either leave your creation with me to dry, or you can take it home with drying instructions. There is also an optional £20 one hour workshop to return and paint it. This date will be set nearer the time.
November is all about Christmas cards. I will have a mix of A5 and A6 cards, suitable for decorating, along with lots of easy festive ideas for you to work from. You can paint up to 10 cards with an array of mediums including glitter! (It's not Christmas without a bit of glitter). These can be left to dry here, or taken home. It's entirely up to you. All cards will come with envelops.
Book soon to avoid disappointment,
Jacqueline

Exploring Materials: We'll start by understanding the essentials - different types of watercolour papers, brushes, and paints. I'll guide you through the selection process, helping you pick the right tools that suit your style and preferences.
Colours and Mixing: Discover the magic of warm and cold colours as we explore colour theory. We'll learn to identify and use these colours effectively to create visually captivating artworks.
Ink and Wash: Experiment with the intriguing technique of ink and wash. I'll show you how to combine the delicate transparency of watercolours with the bold lines of ink, resulting in stunning contrasts and dynamic compositions.
Mastering Brush Strokes: Brush strokes are the heart of watercolour painting. We'll practice various brush stroke techniques, from controlled strokes to loose, expressive ones, unlocking the potential to bring your ideas to life.
Painting Methods: Dive into different painting methods such as wet-on-wet, wet-on-dry, and dry-on-dry. These techniques open up a world of possibilities, allowing you to achieve unique textures and effects in your artwork.
Guided Projects: Each workshop will feature a guided project, focusing on a different subject matter. We'll paint whimsical rabbits, potted plants, and the serene beauty of lavender fields. These projects will let you apply the skills you've learned and create your own stunning pieces of art.
