Combining Coloured Pencil and Watercolour Painting
Painting
In combining the fluidity of watercolour paint and the refinement of coloured pencil, this day long workshop will introduce students to a range of experimental techniques that emphasise the complimentary use of both mediums with one artwork. Students will be guided through the entire creative process, from initial sketch right through to mixing, layering and blending colour, developing textures and adding striking details. By the end, each student will have completed various exercises that contribute an impressive finished work.
Materials list to be supplied - this will be sent ahead of course commencing.
