In this workshop you will be given a comprehensive introduction to creating watercolour landscape paintings. You will learn about how different artists use colour and transparency to create various styles of landscape painting and will be shown how to hone these techniques to create your own watercolour paintings.
You will learn how to mix colours using different watercolour techniques to achieve various effects of light and transparency, exploring both abstract and figurative painting. The workshop draws inspiration from the works of Paul Klee, Wassily Kandinsky, Raoul Dufy, JMW Turner, Edward Lear and John Singer Sargent to inspire your own watercolour painting.
Throughout the day, you will learn how to use artist references, apply different washes using a broad tonal range, understand some of the qualities of watercolour through various techniques including transparency and light effects, develop an understanding of composition in both abstract and figurative forms, and master colour mixing.
This course is 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.
