About this class

Still Life with A Slice of Cake A one-off Tea, Cake, And Watercolour workshop! 10am-4pm   This session is a full day workshop for all of you who have been patiently asking when I will be teaching again. It melds a bit of mixed media into sketchbooking with watercolours. I will be sharing some new wisdom, new DIY sketchbooks, and teaching to you be loose and playful with your paints. Beginners and new students welcome. Morning: Customising and contructing your sketchbook - The sketchbooks we'll be using in this class are FrankenSketchbooks - pieced together from bits of paper and A5 sketchbook inserts! Please bring some scrap paper to personalise yours. Watercolour warm-ups and colour theory, demonstration. Afternoon: Painting plants and a still life set up in watercolour and (optional) mixed media. All of my classes are aimed at creating a foundation for a longterm sketchbook practice. In this session we'll discuss ways to include keeping a visual diary as a part of your daily life. Materials and refreshments are included, however you may wish to bring along some of your favourite art supplies to experiment with. Lunch is NOT included but cake is provided!
