Jake Winkle orchestrated a fantastic workshop for the group on Saturday 13th January, entitled “Going Wild in Watercolour”.
Following an excellent demonstration during the morning session, fifteen members undertook the ‘wet-in-wet’ watercolour application to produce a painting of a cheetah.
After a brief stop for lunch, the second demonstration illustrated how to use watercolour to create the impression of light shining off an object – in this case the shell of a ladybird.
Jake took the time to explain his choice of paper, paint and brushes. He described all of the steps of the processes during the demonstrations and offered assistance and encouragement to the members whilst they created their own paintings throughout the day.
The workshop finished with a display of all of the work for all to see and review. An excellent day was had by all with many going home to continue practicing the new techniques learnt during the day.
PS Don’t forget the Zoom Demonstration on Wed 24th – your email from Gill has the details!
