Sensational Swan: Watercolour Painting - 1 day workshop

ABOUT THE WORKSHOP:

Watercolour is the perfect medium to paint this delightful subject. Enjoy creating loose and expressive artworks of these graceful birds in all their sensational glory. We will capture clear transparent colours in the shadows and water ripples and reflections to create in contrast the luminous whites and highlights of the beautiful bird, achieving diffused edges and the softness of the feathers using wet into wet techniques.

Students will use wet into wet and wet into dry techniques, limiting the layers and using lively direct brushwork and marks to keep foliage looking interesting  and lively rather than fussy and stiff .Gain a better understanding of colour mixing and using a limited  palette to avoid dull muddied colours, learn how to mix and use various shades of greens and different tones, strengths and consistencies of colour to bring lightness, harmony and a sense of space and distance to your artworks.
