Watercolour Wednesday 4: Pictures and Poems

Materials and Information

During this workshop we will explore the visual effects of using and infusing warm and cool colours with the sun and moon as our models! Learn some cosmic techniques for adding shimmer and sparkle and combine collaged poetry for profound impact! Learn exquisite colour mixing techniques, tips for creating an impactful and fun layout and how to add layers with print, paper and pencil. Use your gentle moon and sun illustrations for cards, tags and bookmarks...or create a whole page layout in a sketchbook. Perhaps you'll be inspired to paint the universe! If you're new to drawing and painting don't worry, this is a great place to start! I'll take through every stage giving you loads of tips and advice. If you've got more experience, you'll still learn something new and this style of painting is great for loosening up and having fun.
