About This Course

TEXT FROM SPRING PAGE:

This course includes 3 stand-alone projects, all inspired by photography from the spring garden. Our primroses reference photo was taken by Emma in our gardens here at Gossington Hall. Nothing says spring quite like these cheerful little flowers. The bluetit reference image was taken by Don Coombez on Unsplash, a great source of copyright free mages. Emma also took the lovely photograph of the Narcissus ‘Jetfire’, our third spring-inspired artwork.

Caroline’s presentation videos will take you through each of the painting projects, and all come with helpful handouts including information such as equipment lists, reference images, an example of the completed artwork and useful drawings ready to use as a basis for your own painting.

You will discover how to harness some fundamental watercolour techniques, such as: using salt. light to dark planning, glazing, wet-on-wet, simplification, lifting, transferring a sketch to watercolour paper, colour matching and working with a limited colour palette.

There are 5 weeks available for you to download the course content and keep it forever.
