• Colour mixing and how to form colour palettes
• Responding to place (without being literal)
• Simple sketching to generate shapes
• Ways to make a start
• How to know when a piece is finished
Places are strictly limited. All art materials are provided. Our handmade watercolour paint and viewfinders will be available for purchase.
All art supplies and light refreshments will be provided. Please bring your own lunch (a nice café that does takeaway sandwiches is within walking distance of the studio).
Supper at a restaurant in Kelham Island on the Saturday evening will be optional (not included in the workshop price). Tansy will communicate with you via email about this sociable extra nearer the time.
