The Saturday indoor workshop starts at 10.00am and we go through the basics of watercolour painting, working on linear perspective, aerial perspective, colour mixing, the key measure and tone control. At 1.30pm we have a break and a light lunch and then at 2.00pm we start a painting either from a ready to paint sketch of mine or if the student is confident they can sketch their own that we will all paint together were I will do a paint along (I paint a bit, you paint a bit). We finish at 6.00pm and can enjoy looking at our finished work

My aim is to introduce the new starter to watercolours is a steady and relaxed way, I find people adapt better if all pressure is removed from them and they are given time to evolve. With a max number of students been seven I am able to give each individual all the time they need to finish their painting.

Bring with you only your paints and brushes, if you do not have either of these do not worry these can be hired on the day. A light lunch is taken at about 1.30pm and tea or coffee throughout the day but if you have any special requirements in this line please let us know and we will do what we can to provide for you. If at the end of the day you would like your painting framing I can do this for you so once you get home all you need to do is hang your painting on the wall (picture framing £25)
