Susan Boddy – Convincing Figures in Watercolour***Only 2 Places Remaining***

Date: 1st September 2018
Time: 10:00 am - 4:30 pm
Spaces: 1

You will begin this workshop by painting simplified figure shapes and postures, using your brush as a drawing tool. Finding strong lights on people (heads, shoulders etc.) will be explored with a monochrome image. Perspective will be touched on when adding figures to a street scene. Later all these elements will be incorporated into a townscape where strong light, counter change and shadows play an important part.

Includes homemade lunch, refreshments and cream tea
