Suitable for beginners
Enjoy a day of sharpening your skills in watercolour!
Susie will address the many mistakes that are so easy to make in watercolour and how to avoid or fix them. She will teach you how to create paintings with impact and confidence, all while having lots of fun.
Using a simple limited palette of six colours and large watercolour brushes, you will learn to control tone, how to mix colours with subtlety and how to apply paint so it always looks beautiful and transparent. Exploring a variety of subjects including still life, landscapes and flowers. Susie will also cover basic and effective drawing which is the basis of all great paintings.
This one day will make a big difference to your watercolour painting skills.
Materials List [updated April 2024]
Windsor and Newton tubes (not pans) of:
- Ultramarine Blue
- Cerulean Blue
- Quinacridone Magenta
- Quinacridone Gold OR Transparent Gold Deep
- Raw Sienna
- Burnt Sienna
Other brands are tempting however their colours can vary a bit. Daniel Smith makes very different Siennas and cerulean. Avoid. Also, don’t believe art shop staff when they tell you that a similar colour will do.
- Brushes-sizes 12-18…round pointed brushes from Bunnings (craft department) are pretty good when they’re available. You can also buy them online from Atelier Art Supplies under the brand ‘Renoir’. They are all under $5 each.
- Paper- A4 or A3 coldpressed (medium) surface pads. Eclersley’s sells Reeves paper around $30 and other brands which are good. Don’t buy from a $2 shop or similar. What they call watercolour paper is not that at all.
- Pencil and rubber
- White plates in melamine or china for mixing
- Palette for holding the paint
- Cloth rag or old tea towel
- Large water container that won’t topple over…old yoghurt or ice cream tub etc
