Improvers Watercolour Painting Workshop

Service Description

Come along for a day of painting where I demonstrate each project and provide printed handouts and photographs for you to follow. During the demonstrations, I explain my process step-by-step and I will show you various techniques and methods for creating different effects with watercolours. I will also provide tips and tricks for using different brushes, paints, and paper. One of the great things about attending a demonstration is that you can see the techniques being used in real-time and ask questions during the demonstration. You will be able to paint the project with I will give individual guidance and encouragement. You will produce a finished painting to take home along with notes explaining the techniques used during the workshop. The workshop will start at 10am and we finish at 4pm.
