Say goodbye to wishy-washy, overworked watercolours and welcome this stylised approach delivering more predictable outcomes, featuring simplicity and design, contributing to a modern visual appeal.
"Exotic Gardens" is a two day weekend workshop, running on Saturday and Sunday 9:30am to 4:30pm each day.
Suitable for all levels of watercolour experience
About the Workshop
Annette will supply you with photographic references, while encouraging individual interpretations of the subject. You will learn what negative painting is and how it can build depth and mystery in your paintings. You will have the chance to build skills as you paint.
Day 1. You will learn the art of simplifying intricate garden scenes by consolidating details into robust shapes, interlocking them to compose your painting, akin to assembling a puzzle. The drawing will be transferred to your watercolour paper in preparation for day 2. Additionally, Annette will spend time demonstrating her way of applying transparent washes within a single plant shape resulting in beautiful nuances of colour and crisp, clean edges. You will have ample time to practice these techniques.
Day 2. You will begin painting your exotic garden of delights. This approach lets you paint one segment at a time, allowing for a serene progression without the anxiety of errors commonly associated with traditional, detailed watercolour techniques that emphasize realism. Enjoy this relaxed approach as you continue painting and watching your garden grow!
Materials are not included in this workshop. A material list will be available shortly. Murray's Art and Framing has a full selection of art supplies, if you need them for your materials list
