About the Event
ABOUT THE WORKSHOP:
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.

You can transfer the tips and knowledge Nicky offers to many other subject matters in watercolour and other mediums particularly what you learn about…
