Dreamy Watercolour Landscapes

with Catherine Beale

Code: SP214Time: 10.00-16.00Length: 1 dayStarts: 14 JanDay: TuesdayCost: £36Venue: Frome Art School, Silk Mill

Create a dreamlike landscape of repeated hills using mesmerising layers of watercolour as Catherine introduces you to her techniques. 

Bring your own source photo and then start to daydream as Catherine helps you adjust your composition to create subtle atmosphere. 

Watch her demonstrate tips on composition and colour choices before you build up smooth layers of merged colour in water, adding tone and developing a soft series of retreating horizons. Finish with a sharply contrasting layer of trees or other foreground detail. The session ends with a review and troubleshooting techniques to take home.
