Pluck up Some Courage! Stacy Peterson - a one day watercolour workshop

MEMBER: $125

NON-MEMBER; $150

Why limit your watercolours to A4 paper and teeny, tiny brushes? Pluck up some courage and let loose with bigger brushes and a bigger format. In this workshop we will upsize and let the paint flow, minimising detail and emphasising light, form and gesture.

Participants will experiment with a range of simple techniques that enable large areas to be covered loosely while still giving just enough attention to detail. We will use washes of warm and cool tones to set the stage for mid tones and shadows, keeping a fresh, spontaneous feel.

All ability levels are welcome.
