During this workshop you will explore the theme of “Spring” through watercolour referring to imagery classically associated with Springtime i.e. flowers in bloom, nature, seasonal produce, working from your own and Suzy’s source material reflecting the subject and what it means to you. You will firstly be guided through simple warm up exercises to build ideas and confidence, moving towards a watercolour painting based on these initial visual thoughts. You will also learn how to work with a limited palette of colours, looking at the proportion and balance of colours within a picture, whilst referring to other painters’ work for discussion and example. You will end the day having filled pages of your book with pictorial ideas, colour palettes around the theme of “Spring”, plus a more “finished” study on watercolour paper.
Suitable for all levels of ability including beginners and those willing to have a go.
This workshop will take place at the new RWS Gallery on Whitcomb Street, just off Trafalgar Square.
All bookings are non-refundable.
