March Adventures in Nature using Watercolour. ~ with Lis Bramwell

Embrace the beauty of the natural world in winter. Learn observational drawing skills and watercolour painting techniques to create your own beautiful pictures. 

  3 x THURSDAY PM's   March 4th ~ March 11th  ~ March 18th         ^{This is a 3 afternoon course - days cannot be bought separately. Please use Mar 4th to book}

 

Session 1: Snowdrops

Session 2: Nuts and seedheads

Session 3: Red squirrel

 

Join experienced local artist Lis Bramwell for informal, relaxed and fun watercolour painting sessions. The perfect course for those who love to embrace all winter and early Spring has to offer or those who need help to chase away the winter blues.

All abilities are welcome and supported.

If you are completely new to watercolours,  then materials can be purchased at the first session for £10. Otherwise please bring what you feel you need. I would suggest a good quality drawing pencil, sharpener and rubber. Practice paper such as cartridge paper and the watercolour paper of your choice. Cold pressed for a looser style, hot pressed for more detailed work. A basic palate of lemon yellow, Payne’s grey, sap green, Winsor blue, alizarine crimson, cadmium red, Vandyke brown, burnt sienna and yellow ochre should work well for winter subjects but the choice is yours.
