About this Event
Coming into the cold winter months, why not spend a Saturday learning how to paint a beautiful urban snow scene? Watercolour lends itself to this type of painting, utilising its transparent nature to create a sense of light within the blue shadows of the scene.
The workshop will be based on a three-part demonstration where Kasper will show his technique, and after each part, he will assist the students along the way.
We will start the day with a value study exercise of the chosen image, and explanations will be given on how this can be used as a roadmap for a successful painting.
The following will be covered:
• Working with wet-into-wet and dry brush techniques to achieve different effects.
• The value of connecting shapes in the painting.
• How to paint in a loose style while retaining accuracy.
• Techniques to adjust the final painting by lifting paint in certain areas.
All of this and more will be delivered through demonstrations and personalised attention.
Art materials will be provided; however, students are also welcome to bring along their own if they wish.
Please note this workshop is not suited for absolute beginners.
About the teacher: Kasper Zier is an award winning watercolour artist living and working in Dublin.

Using a masterful combination of clear colours, free expressive brushstrokes, and 'lost and found' edges, Kasper artfully captures the interplay of light on the city's buildings and streets. The end result is a unique painting full of atmosphere and character, carrying his personal touch and creating a lasting impression on the viewer. Kasper is a member of the The Water Colour Society of Ireland
