Description
Learn to use watercolours and additional techniques for your illustrations.
Everyone is welcome to join our watercolour illustration group that includes all levels.
You will initially be introduced to the use of watercolour with exercises in order to improve different skills. When you feel ready you can start drawing and painting your own illustrations under the teacher’s guidance and advice. You can experiment with different styles, techniques and materials.
The watercolour illustration course takes place every weekend, mainly on Sundays, but sometimes also on Saturdays, depending on the availability of the Gallery.
Join our friendly art lovers group and spend your Sundays afternoons illustrating together with chats, tea and biscuits.
Content:
- Theory of colours with practical exercises that will help you to create your own colour palette.
- We will choose a picture to reproduce as an illustration, learning about perspective, anatomy and composition.
- Exercises: Based on your personal level I will suggest different exercises to improve your drawing and painting skills.
- experimentation with different types of paper and different types of watercolour and techniques.
