Come and join Nicky Hunter for this amazing Watercolour Workshop which, while being perfect for most levels, is not suitable for complete beginners. The aim will be to create expressive paintings in watercolour of our favourite woodland creatures, using a loose and lively watercolour method. Students will observe Nicky painting a watercolour artwork in stages and will create their own artworks using the techniques that are demonstrated, with Nicky's guidance and support.
The aim is to improve students’ knowledge and painting skills using loose and lively watercolour methods and managing wet into wet technique. You will learn how to keep whites fresh and colours transparent so your artworks sing with radiance! Nicky will teach elements of good picture making such as effective layout and composition and how to use soft edges and strong tonal values to make your paintings sing from the page.
Workshop runs from 10am-4pm. Arts in East Herts Special Offer: Price £45 includes all day refreshments and a two-course lunch. Free parking.
