Description

Who can resist picking up a pebble and holding it in your hand to admire its colours, textures and patterns. In this fun workshop we will explore a variety of ways to work with pebbles as your inspiration using beautiful subtle colour mixes (with some neat shortcuts to creating a soft muted palette). Working with watercolour techniques to create textures and pattern, and looking at making abstract compositions using printed shapes and mark-making, we will create a collection of images to use for cards or wall art and a teeny-tiny book! There will be lots of demos & step-by-step instruction in this fun and informal workshop. What to bring: Heavy watercolour paper or Mixed Media paper (A4 or bigger) Drawing pencil; dip pen if you have one, (The tutor will also bring some) Watercolours or acrylic paints – whatever you have – if buying specially just buy primary colours and white (the tutor will also bring some) Mixing palette, brushes (whatever you have), Kitchen roll Apron Inspiration / source material (pebbles if you have some or pictures of pebbles – the tutor will also bring some) A packed lunch
