Watercolour – Scared of the Darks!
Description
Watercolour students often struggle to mix effectively punchy darks and apply them well.
Providing both the technical information needed to achieve this and the practical application of this information, this course is for students who possess a basic knowledge of the medium designed to help overcome what is a very common problem in watercolour that of not mixing really effective darks. These punchy darks are essential in order to produce paintings that have good tonal contrasts and without them many potentially good paintings often appear flat and lifeless.
A surprisingly small amount of technical knowledge can solve the problem and there will be advice on how and when to use these darks for maximum effect.
Residential Fees From: £348. Non Residential: £233
