Overview: We’ll explore how to bring paintings to life by layering watercolour with a variety of materials, including ink pens, crayons, pencils and the beautiful touch of metal leaf. You’ll learn different techniques for creating texture, adding fine details, building layers and combining materials to create interesting effects and unique pieces of artwork. Whether you’re new to painting or looking to try something a little different, you’ll be guided through a range of playful exercises and techniques in a relaxed, supportive environment. There’s no need for previous experience — just a willingness to experiment and enjoy the creative process. Some materials, including metal leaf, will be provided, giving you the opportunity to explore new media and discover exciting ways to develop your work.
