SU608 Harbour Scene in Line and Wash

Create a delightful harbour scene complete with colourful boats, water and rocky outcrops. Step-by-step Catherine will help you to add loose watercolour washes over an expressive ink “scaffold” for an attractive, illustrative finish. Watch her demonstrations and observe the luminous hues merge and contrast with the crisp pen detail. Try for yourself while gathering tips on composition and colour.

Do not worry if you have not attended Catherine’s Dive into Watercolours! Classes. She will explain all about her “gravity painted” watercolour methods in this stand alone day. Suitable for those with some painting experience.
