Intensive workshop with Beverly Allen

Join a five day intensive workshop to build watercolour skills for botanical painting on paper and enjoy demonstrations of drawing and painting techniques from initial washes and layering to dry brush detail and finishing. Working on one subject there will be an emphasis on close observation and accurate drawing from life. The many subtle variations in colour achieved through mixing and layering and their use in creating tonal changes to indicate form will be explored, along with the importance of light in rendering textures and in creating a three dimensional painting.
