A Watercolour Workout
Tutor: Jackie Devereux Course Code: 3325-40
Summary
HOW TO SEE COLOUR.......and interpret what we see. A unique day in the company of professional artist Jackie Devereux, who will expertly guide you through colour with a relaxed approach, to enable you to actually see colour within colour and to capture more than you think!
Description
We shall work with a limited palette of three primaries but with an added twist. Let’s make it 3xreds, 3xyellows and 3xblues, which will give far more of a rich blend and wider spectrum. Exploring with techniques such as wet on wet, glazing and mixing on the page, our aim will be to create one or more sketchbook book covers or a series of small notebooks, or just go home with some beautiful colours of your own.......
Please bring with you
(NB Colours can be of your own choice, or contact me for ideas. Small tubes of artist’s colours will give the easiest and most immediate results.)
Watercolour paper of your choice (I would recommend Bockingford 300g (140lb) 'HOT PRESSED SMOOTH', ‘NOT’ or ‘ROUGH’ both for price and durabilityWatercolour tubes are best for this course, but bring what you have. (Contact Tutor for more information if needs be)
