Watercolour painting

Painting with watercolour is a really enjoyable, and immediately expressive form of painting.
In this one-day workshop we will keep things simple. Using only three colours: Raw Sienna, Ultramarine and Rose Madder. We will begin by mixing combinations of these, then make some small speed paintings gaining confidence and a fuller understanding of the potential of watercolour.
Fully loosened up, we will move onto longer more focused study in afternoon.
We will paint directly from life, curated objects and landscape.
Towards the end of the day there will be an opportunity to discuss framing options.

All materials, watercolour paint and paper included

Lunch (vegetarian) included

Is an experienced watercolourist with a legion of devoted students whom he teaches weekly online and at European residencies. As a boy, Charles won an art scholarship to Malvern College, later teaching art at Chiswick Art School, London. He is a trained, highly skilled violinist, this musicality being evident in his painting. Charles has run painting courses in the UK, Bermuda, Spain, France and Italy.
His watercolour paintings are in public and private collections and he recently had the great accolade of winning ‘Best in Show‘ at the Bermuda Plein Air Festival.
Charles hopes to pass on his infectious enthusiasm for the medium of watercolour and send you off inspired to carry on painting independently and or return for another workshop with us.
