Over two full days we progress through a series of skills and techniques working towards painting beautiful loose flowers and foliage. We'll look at getting the paint moving fluidly on the page, how to hold your brush, manage water control, relax into the process - seemingly simple things that contribute to better outcomes.
We will be interpreting and painting flowers from real life and discuss the advantages of using this technique. Natalie’s aim is for you to have one or two finished works to take home, but more importantly a new set of skills and a great understanding of watercolour so you can continue practicing at home.
WHAT WE WILL COVER
- Learning about materials: brushes, paints and paper
- Colour mixing
- Brush control
- Watercolour tips, tricks and techniques
- Observing and drawing flowers from real cuttings
- Setting yourself up at home
MATERIALS
All art materials are supplied.
Note: Natalie prefers to work from fresh native loose flowers and foliage so if you have any in your garden, please bring some along. Examples are: loose banksia, sunflowers, bird of paradise and tibouchina.
