Continuing Watercolour Wednesdays- Robyn Eastgate-Manning
$178.00 - $213.00
31 July to 18 September
This is an 8 week course.
This course is the next step for those who have some experience under their belts and want to continue learning more about watercolour. We highly recommend that participants complete the Basic Watercolour course before advancing to this one.
Tackle a range of subjects including: skies, seas, different weather, trees in landscape, buildings, urban scenes and shadows as well as still life and botanical subjects. Reinforce existing techniques, extend your skills with new subject matter and try new combinations of techniques. Use hard and soft edges to achieve specific effects, mixing effective darks for contrast, use washes to develop different moods in a painting, apply charged washes to create unique colours, and more.
Materials required for the course:
You will need the following paint colours as a base then others that Robyn suggests for various classes:
- A warm red eg cadmium red
- A cool red eg alizarin crimson
- A warm yellow eg cadmium yellow
- A cool yellow eg lemon yellow
- A warm blue eg cobalt blue
- A cool blue eg ultramarine blue
- Burnt umber
- Burnt Sienna
You will also need:
A palette for mixing paint, or a plain white plate works also works well.
Your paper ideally needs to be 300gsm to take lots of water without buckling. A3 size is good and A4 for smaller scale exercises.
Masking tape to hold it down the paper. We have some boards here to use. They need to be put back at the end of the session please.
A set of brushes – a size 12 or 14 round or larger if you have one, a size 6 round and a ¾ or 1” flat. for the term to keep your initial outlay down, or bring what you already have.
A notebook and pen for notes.
A soft 2B pencil for sketching and a kneadable eraser is useful for softly erasing artist quality paper.
