Watercolour with Louise Man Monday 28 April

For Monday's class with Louise Man (Monday 28th April, 1pm till 3pm - Foakes Hall, Dunmow)

Louise would like to do a still life watercolour workshop. 

You will need to bring a few ordinary, still life objects with you. It might be a collection of small vases, a bottle, small pots and jars etc and also something to place them on, such as a tea towel with a pattern. The items should be different heights, so something tall, medium and small, and also varying shapes, such as tall, long or round. You might want to bring something round, like an orange or lemon. You can bring flowers too if you like.

Louise will focus on capturing light and shadow effectively, mastering wet-in-wet techniques without losing control and maintaining crisp colours. Louise has provided a few images of paintings she has done with a 'still life' feel about them. These are attached.

You should bring the same materials as before:

Watercolour paper, 300 gsm. 

Tape and a board if you want to tape it down. 

Watercolour brushes, Louise likes to use a squirrel mop brush. 

Pencil and rubber

Watercolour paints

Water holder

Paper towel

REMEMBER TO BRING ALONG YOUR OWN MUGS FOR A CUPPA
