Description:
With a palette of colours seen in nature at this time of year, you will create finely detailed watercolour images with the guidance of artist and illustrator, Susan Pearson, in this three-session program. Using botanical specimens as a reference (such as fresh cuts of evergreens, red leaves and berries), Susan’s individual and group instructions ensure that each participant can progress at their own pace to develop techniques such as layering of colour, wet into wet, and dry brush. This course is suitable for novices or those seeking a refresher on watercolour techniques. Please bring your questions and a keen interest in experimenting! Susan suggests that participants bring the following materials: Paper - Arches 140lb-300lb. cold press watercolour paper, 9” x 12” or larger. Watercolour Paints - Holbein brand: Red (Carmine), Yellow (New Gamboge), Blue (Peacock blue). Can add Olive Green, Opera (hot pink), and Payne’s grey. Detailed Brushes – size 01 for fine detail. A good array of brushes includes sizes 04, 1, 4, and 6. Mixing Palette - plastic or white ceramic surface Sketching – 2b mechanical pencil and white eraser Water – 2 mason jars or 2 yogurt containers Blow Dryer – nice to have for drying paint layers quickly Online pre-registration is required.
