The Saturday indoor watercolour 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. If you have never painted before dont worry I will take you through the basics and painting materials can be hired for the day. If you have any diet requirements please make a note on the booking form.

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. The workshops are on

16th Jan.....20th Feb....20th March....24th April....22nd May.....13th June the rest of the year is yet to be set.

The cost of the workshop is £40 this includes lunch.

The ready to paint sketches are from my sketch books that I have built up over the years on the painting holidays or days out and then transfered to Saunders Waterford 140lb not watercolour paper using ink that will not run when wet, using theses sketches will help you relax and experiment with applying paint because you have not spent many hours sketching.

Occationally we put on a painting day in Derbyshire when enough people show interest and so we cannot give a fixed date, but if you are interested please contact me and your name will be added for future reference.
