Workshop: Watercolour Techniques Mood Board

Our next workshop will be on Thursday 4th April 2019 at Llanelltyd Village Hall, starting at 10:30am, and finishing at about 4pm. The cost for members will be £10 and £12 for non-members. The tutor will be Tracy Ann Smith.

The objective of the workshop is to create textures by using the simple techniques which can enhance watercolour painting and add interesting pattern. Hopefully there will be enough time to create a piece of artwork.

You will need to bring:

  • Water colours
  • Watercolour paper (large if possible)
  • Brushes

We will be using candles, bubblewrap, kitchen roll, sharp points, rock salt etc. The tutor will bring a couple of painted examples to show how to insert some techniques. It will be a fun session, tiring but well worth it. It might be an idea for those attending to bring along some subject matter to paint.

Tea and coffee will be provided but please bring your own packed lunch.

N.B. Please stay at end of workshop to help clear-up

Workshop: Light Effects in Watercolour

Our next workshop will be on Monday 30th April 2018 at Llanelltyd Village Hall, starting at 10:30am, and finishing at about 4pm. The cost for members will be £10 and £12 for non-members. The tutor will be Ken Bridges.

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.
