WATERCOLOUR WORKSHOP AT GOYT MILL
‘Painting Nature’

Saturday September 12th 11:00 - 1:00
£30 including all materials and refreshments
For all abilities

A watercolour paint set is a favourite of many.
So easy to transport out doors.
The translucent quality of this medium offers great potential to portray the natural world, and is beloved by many famous artists.
Firstly, we’ll get messy and experiment with different mark making techniques - scratching, cutting, blotting, using everything from bubble wrap to salt to get interesting colours and texture formations.
Then, using vases of plants as inspiration, we’ll further these explorations to produce more detailed studies.
Come and join us for a fun couple of hours exploring watercolour!
