27th July 2010 ‘Watercolour Tips and Techniques’
Suitable for: Beginners, or anyone who struggles to control or understand Watercolour.
You will learn: Real techniques you can apply to your paintings. No subject for this class; simply a whole day spent trying out techniques on pre-cut pieces of Watercolour paper.
Each technique will be demonstrated, and then you will do it yourself. At the end of the day we will bind the samples into a little booklet or you to take away and refer to in the future.
From the simplest flat washes through to mixed media techniques and clever tricks this is simply the most popular and useful course I
teach on Watercolours!
10th August 2010 ‘Botanical Watercolours’ (in the gardens)
Suitable for: Anyone interested in a more detailed approach to painting Watercolours. You will learn: Which materials to use, how to correct mistakes, and keep the pristine look
of your paper. Techniques studied include glazing and blending. We will also look in detail at mixing accurate, interesting, non-muddy greens. If it’s sunny we will be painting in the
beautiful garden of Gainsborough’s House, in case of rain we will work in the Hills Room from still life botanical objects and flowers.
24th August 2010 ‘Watercolour Skies’
Suitable for: Anyone who wants to paint fabulous Watercolour skies.
You will learn: A range of techniques for painting skies, and very importantly the most common mistakes made and how you can avoid them. From simple graduated skies, to ways
of painting clouds and working up to those all important sunsets and sunrises. Includes my fail safe method for adjusting and re-working your sky several times… without it showing!
It is the sky that makes a landscape and this day is dedicated to improving this important area.
Art Materials
Paper is included in the price of your course; water jars, subject etc are also supplied. You will need to bring your own paints, brushes etc. If you are a complete beginner
I have put together a starter pack you may purchase if you wish. It will be waiting for you when you arrive for your course, or you may pick it up from me in advance,
by appointment only.
For further advice on starting to paint, art materials etc please email me directly art@michelewebber.com or take a look at my website: www.michelewebber.com
