Tutor - Catherine Beale SWA

1-day workshop

Monday 31 March, 10.30am-4.30pm

Explore our urban waterways in loose watercolour. Experiment with dropping real colours into water to create soft forms and hazy light effects. Enjoy bright shots of colour as you get to know the difference between pigments. Embrace watermarks as you move beyond your source photo by following the flow of paint and your imagination.

The tutor will provide step-by-step instructions, tips and demonstrations.

Please bring watercolour brushes, such as 1 inch flat; smaller flat; rigger.
You will also need to bring a source image(s) of a favourite urban waterway close to home or further afield to inspire you.

Please wear clothes and footwear suitable for a studio environment and bring a plastic bag/portfolio for taking wet work home with you at the end of the day.
