A structured class working from various subject matter - still life, landscape and figures. Colin will intruduce a range of techniques such as mark making, flat and graduated washes, wet into wet and wet on dry, and provide guidance on the use of mediums, salt, granulation fluid etc. Students can also discuss aspects of their painting including composition, tonal values, colour harmony and restrained palettes to develop their work and style, and will be introduced to many different established styles of working with watercolours such as line & wash, loose, illustrative masking, backgrounds and bokeh effects.

WHAT TO BRING

Please bring your own paints and tools, this way you will get used to your particular set and can tailor it to your specific way of working. Necessary tools include: paint brushes, sea sponge, watercolour palette, paper towel and masking tape, alongside watercolour paints and paper. Students will be able to chat with Colin about tools and paints, though as a starting place the brushes he suggests are: a 3/4 inch flat, a rigger, a medium mop brush and some small and medium round brushes. Many of these tools, paints and paper can be purchased from the QPAC art shop.
