Have you always wanted to learn watercolour but just don’t know where to begin?
Or have you wrestled with muddy, runny or simply uncontrollable watercolours too many times and just given up in despair?
Well, that’s where I can really help….
My sports mad husband says I’d be in the Premier League of watercolour tutors if there was such a thing!
With a lifetime of painting, and twenty years of teaching watercolours, I know exactly what you struggle with and what you need to learn. And I love to make it all as simple as can be. Say goodbye for ever to watercolour frustration…
When you come to my workshop you’ll learn so many things:
How to choose the best watercolour materials to make your painting easier
Understand and use the two basic foundations of watercolour technique: “Wet in Wet” and “Wet on Dry” method
Know how much (or how little) water to add to your paint
Mix endless gorgeous colours with only four tubes of paint.
Learn how to use just one brush to do everything with
How to allow your paint to flow: make it loose and juicy!
What will I do in the workshop?
You’ll learn some amazing colour theory and brush techniques; then paint a juicy pear; a simple but evocative landscape, and some easy watercolour skies.
Even people who’ve painted for years have found this workshop a real game changer with their watercolours: as it’s a rediscovery of vibrant colours rather than mud, of how to let your paint flow rather than become cramped and overcontrolled, and how to simplify your approach to painting
“Sarah is a great teacher - patient and clear and she makes watercolour painting seem so simple. It’s so relaxing learning with her.”
What’s included?
I provide you with all the art materials you need for your course, plus hot drinks on tap whenever you like.
You’ll go home with your own paintings, a handy colour mixing chart, a useful information handout, and a comprehensive understanding of watercolour basics plus (most important!) lots more confidence and inspiration.
