This one-day workshop is designed to cover the basics, exploring painting and drawing with water-based media as well as gouache, oil pastels and inks. Perfect for beginners or those who want to kick-start their artwork after a break.
What will the course or workshop cover and how will it be taught?
You’ll cover the basics, like how to put on a wash for example, but then also use exciting methods to adapt this for more experimental work. You will be taught by demonstration and by producing your own work. You learn to put on a wash, then adapt it with several experimental methods. Also how to learn to use gouache paint thickly and as a watercolour, combining it with oil pastel as an option, we try ink and wash methods and oil pastel on its own.
The workshop is suitable for anyone, from complete beginners, re-starters, to people wanting to find or change their art style by trying different methods and going back to basics.A follow-up workshop, Art for the Terrified 2 on 26 January 2019 leads on to using acrylics with rags and card as well as revisiting washes and water based media.
