Service Description

Enjoy a relaxing day painting birds. Denise will give demonstrations throughout the day for two bird projects and provide detailed step by step instructions and handouts with a photograph for each project. One project will focus on painting a small bird and the other a larger portrait of an owl in a looser style. The birds will be painting using the traditional pure watercolour techniques of wet on wet, dry on dry and wet on dry. Suitable for those with some painting experience or those who have already completed my complete beginners one day course. The day focuses on painting, so sketches of the birds will be provided with a Lightbox so the images can easily be traced on to the watercolour paper.

"Thank you so much for a wonderful painting colourful doors workshop. You gave amazingly detailed demonstrations with so much advice & inspiration. I came away with a much better understanding on how to create interesting & varied textures to put into the doors projects you prepared for us. You encouraged me to go larger for this workshop, it was brilliant to work on a much bigger areas for the washes. ‘Practice makes perfect’ they say, we certainly came away with a lot more ideas & skills we can work on."
