Getting to know Watercolours

Both our Workshops from this week were on Saturday. And so was my USk Gold Coast Australia event.

Mosman with Kirsten was Week 3 for her students. That meant learning ‘whites on tops and sides’ and how our our one colour at a time method with watercolours works. No premixing at all.

You’ll see the ‘Rocks’ which we’ve long used to show the chinagraph effect as 3 watercolours are ‘dropped’ one over each other. You learn how gorgeous watercolour is when you let it bloom.

You’ll also see their watercolour flower sketch with the first simple colours applied.

Enjoyable, no stress and a happy memory of the day. Really the pleasure of doing the sketch is almost more important than what’s on the page.
