How to paint a simple watercolour seascape…
Come and spend a calming, inspiring day learning how to paint a simple starter seascape with me in a tiny group of just six students in my beautiful artist’s studio. I’ll be showing you how to use a classic watercolour sketchers’ box of paints to produce some simple, beautiful semi-abstract seascapes.
This is a gentle introduction to choosing the perfect colours for the different moods of the sea and sky, watercolour brushes, different ways of keeping the white of the paper fresh and how to use the classic “wet in wet”, and “glazing” techniques. I’ll be demonstrating painting techniques and the sequence of creating a seascape painting: what you do first, next, and last. We’ll look at how to simplify things, how to paint a simple trouble-free sky, or a sunset, waves, reflections and sand.
I’ll also be sharing lots of the easy solutions I’ve found to watercolour problems as a professional painter and illustrator with more than 30 years’ experience.
Whether you’re an absolute beginner, or you’ve been painting for years but want to try a fresh approach you’ll love the fun, relaxed atmosphere at my workshops.
I treat each of my students with patience, humour and generosity, (and I don’t do negative,) so you can walk into my studio feeling happy and excited rather than apprehensive. And you’ll leave feeling more confident with watercolour knowing lots more and feeling inspired to paint.
