Getting Going in Watercolours Workshop
Sun November 5, 2023 @ 10:30 am - 4:30 pm GMT
| £75.00This 1 day workshop offers a foundation in watercolour painting. You will start by practicing the basic techniques and the most important skills required in using the medium, which will help you produce a small number of finished paintings by the end of the day. The subject matter will be varied to include landscapes, seascapes, and flowers.
The tutor Kevin Scully will demonstrate these basic techniques and will advise you on the best art materials to use, as well as providing plenty of individual attention throughout the day.
At the end of the workshop, you will be armed with enough practical information to take away with you to put into practice everything that you will have learned.
This course is suitable for both beginners and those who have used the medium before and wish to take a refresher course.
Kevin Scully is a professional artist, writer, illustrator, and tutor. He trained at Wimbledon School of Art and is an experienced teacher in drawing and painting in all mediums.
