Watercolour with Louise Man

Some images of the demonstration Louise Man Art did a week ago. The theme was autumnal foliage and creating compositions with blind contour drawing (looking only at the objects and not the paper) and then doing a second drawing with your non-dominant hand. This technique forces you to really look at what you’re drawing and to let go of the control your brain has over how you draw and paint. After making initial drawings, some with pencils, pens, charcoal and even twigs dipped in acrylic ink, the group then washed watercolours in loose washes over areas of their drawings, highlighting some areas with more detail. Lots of great work!
