Winter Owl in Watercolour: Jeremy Ford

In this watercolour workshop, we will be using masking fluid, table salt, and a variety of fascinating techniques to produce this appealing owl in the snow painting.

Suitable for all abilities, we will work through the stages of the painting step-by-step to completion, dealing with any problems along the way before moving on.

Jeremy Ford studied Graphic Design at Southport College of Art, (1972-5) and Illustration at Harrow College of Art, London (1975-8) and has been a professional Artist and Illustrator since then, working on a wide variety of books, magazines, and greeting cards.
