I first started to paint with Stockport Art Guild of which I am an honorary member. Since moving to Wales, 20 years ago, I have been inspired by the beauty and diversity of the scenery, both inland and coastal. All though watercolour is my favourite medium I also enjoy using acrylic and pastel.

The aim of the workshop will be to explore methods of creating light effects in a simple watercolour landscape. If time allows we will produce the same painting 3 times attempting to portray different times of day. Ken will produce a simple sketch for attendees to copy.
Those attending should bring along watercolour equipment including:
- Brushes small, medium and large,
- Watercolour papers of around 18” x 12” at least 3 sheets preferably heavy 180 lb or above.
- A good variety of watercolours, yellows, reds, blues, plus earth colours .
- Accessories including tissues, small sponge, pencils & rubber.
Because of time pressure and limited space ii is probably best to restrict the numbers attending to a maximum of 15. Tea and coffee will be provided but please bring your own packed lunch.
