Watercolour Beginner and Post-Beginner Workshop with Faith Love-Robertson
Want to begin to paint in watercolour or perhaps restart watercolour artwork and inspire yourself with a painting class?
This class will concentrate on basics like shape, shadow, colour, texture, composition and technique. The first day we’ll study form, shade and shadow. Contrasts of light against dark expressed the completion of a simple still life with dramatic lighting.
On Day 2, we can take what we covered in the first day and set the scene of our project in a landscape. We will cover the use of resists like masking fluid and masking tape as well as textural techniques.
