What the workshop will cover:
Beginners:
Those at beginner level will colour mix and learn about different types of papers.
A simple drawing of a flannel flower will be undertaken and, after lunch, they will learn about washes whilst filling in the background of the painting.
Intermediates:
Those at intermediate level will draw a flannel flower, then use masking fluid to fill in the flower and stretch the painting on a board. After lunch, they will wet paper and drop and splash paint on it to create a background; then remove masking fluid when dry. Then the details of flower will be painted in.
Any spare time can be used to practise washes or start a small painting of their choice i.e. painting a water scene or something else they are curious about, or interested in.
For this, participants will need their own paper, either hot or cold pressed.
