Beginners Washes & Edges workshops with Charlotte Hird
Learn the core techniques of watercolour and create landscapes, a still life and
learn to place people in the landscape. Watercolour is all about control of the
water on the brush, the pigment in your palette and the dampness of the paper. Only
practice will guarantee good control of these elements. To make that practice fun we
will use vibrant colours and make beautiful washes and soft edges. You will explore
wet into wet technique, blend colours, and leave with a handful of paintings, some
core knowledge and confidence for your watercolour journey.
