One Day Workshop

10.00-16.15
This is a one day workshop for anyone with little to no experience of Watercolour.
Ideal for anyone who would like to join classes but hopes to gain some experience in the medium beforehand. Or for those who are unable to attend regular weekly classes but would like to try their hand at this medium, in order to participate in future, more advanced workshops.
We literally start the day with how to hold the brush, so that your confidence builds with each new project. Participants would be required to bring their own art materials from the kit list provided, eg a basic watercolour set, brush and palette, along with a packed lunch. I am able to supply 100% cotton watercolour paper, drawing boards, water pots, kitchen towel etc and a ready supply of refreshments and biscuits throughout the day.
You'll learn all the basics from how to apply flat and graduated washes, colour theory, colour mixing from a basic palette and tonal values. We cover a lot during the day and you'll leave with several completed paintings.
Thoroughly recommended. . This was such an engaging day; a great group of people, clear development in the work and Kirsty was very generous with her help and support to everyone. I began the day as a complete novice but learnt so much that I felt inspired to continue with it at home and confident enough to enrol onto one of the intermediate classes..
Just a quick thank you for a lovely day spent in your studio space learning the basics of watercolour.
Better still was being surrounded by your wonderful work - I still can't believe the black lab was painted... astonishing.
I've a mountain to climb but will definitely set myself up with a little plyboard workspace and crack on !
