Watercolour Paintings by Tony Slater

 

 

Watercolour Painting Workshops.

Treat yourself to two or three consecutive days on a workshop in the beautiful Trent Valley in rural South Nottinghamshire.
Enjoy the benefits that the continuity of study gives.

 

Brush up your Watercolour Techniques

Friday, Saturday and Sunday
1st, 2nd and 3rd August 2008.

This workshop will give you the opportunity to refresh your watercolour techniques and skills.
We will be exploring colour mixing and the different pigment/water ratios required for various techniques from laying washes through wet into wet to dry brush. You will then practise and use these skills for completing your paintings. We will further develop our skills with such techniques as observing and painting negative shapes, looseness, and the minimal use of the brush. Again we will use a number of these skills for completing further paintings.
This course is ideal for experienced artists who perhaps realise the need to regularly brush up their skills and can also be used by beginners as an introduction to watercolour painting techniques.

Fee for the 3 days: £125.00

This workshop is fully booked. If you would like to be informed of any cancellations please

The Perspective of Buildings and Figures in Street Scenes

Friday, Saturday, Sunday
5th, 6th and 7th September 2008.

Figures and perspective often prove a problem and these will be well addressed over the three days of this course. Tony will explain a simple method of understanding perspective with practical examples in the village. He will also demonstrate an easy and effective way of depicting figures with the minimum of brush strokes. Figures enhance a street scene by adding life, but they need to be in scale and also conform to the rules of perspective. All will be revealed on this course.

Fee for the 3 days: £125.00
