Watercolour Texture Ideas for Landscapes

Class Details

Come along and have fun exploring different techniques for achieving texture and interest in your watercolour landscapes! We will warm up with small exercises exploring the use of salt, cling film, spatter, masking fluid and wet in wet techniques followed by some small landscape studies in three genres: “Trees & Bushes”, “Rocky Beaches” and “Flowery Meadows”, incorporating some texture ideas for livening up the spontaneity and expressiveness of your paintings. After lunch we will experiment with painting on different paper surfaces to explore the effect on the final piece, including a painted ground, gessoed paper, and handmade paper. You are welcome to bring some of your own photos to work from for this part of the day (though reference photos will also be available). No experience necessary - beginners welcome! Full instruction and all materials provided. Friendly, creative atmosphere. Tea/coffee and biscuits included morning and afternoon and maybe even a glass of something fizzy towards the end of the day.

Cancellation Policy

We hope to avoid cancelling classes or workshops whenever possible but sometimes life happens and it's unavoidable. When we have cancelled you will be offered either a refund or the opportunity to transfer your booking to another class/time. We can't offer refunds if you can't make it to a class or workshop but if there are places available on another day we will do our best to fit you in. If you cancel 14 days or more before an event we will refund you if we are able to re-sell your place(s).
