This workshop series is for artists, and art enthusiasts in general
...it can introduce a new technique into an already skilled creatives armoury
- or it can be for the relaxed Sunday afternoon creative exploration
You dont have to bring anything - just turn up
We will work through the exercises from Mandys Watercolour Patterns Workshop Booklet on loose sheets of supplied paper - and then you get a nice clean book to take home with you.
You could either use it yourself or give to someone for a present
Then the supplied paper fits into a mount - so the goal is at the end of the day you go home with a professional mounted peice
And you get to use watercolour paint THAT I HAVE MADE MYSELF - I will also have all the equiptment there, to show you how it is done in case anyone is intersted in that process....cos its awesome
and you also get a cup of tea and a glass of wine supplied by Happs
is designed for people who might not have all the right supplies and it neatly contains the exercises in one place
It is an excellent 'on holiday' experience, being light and easy to pack, and makes a fabulous gift
as you can see in the videos it contains some nice heavy paper in there to create some good works on - and the final page is taped off to show how having a crisp border can increase the quality and lift your work
This workshop is all about an easy technique that helps you to free yourself up and accept a bit of chaos on your canvas -
I spent many months working out the process and would love to share it all here with you in a series of simple steps
* This project book naturally breaks up into easily achievable stages
* It is simple and great fun
* this technique will help a beginner create a complete painting
* and is a wonderful addition to the skills of the accomplished artist
It helped me to loosen up and realise how pleasurable art was without the boundaries of expectation
Every mark is a surprise - and there is no pressure because it can be a background that you paint over - it is a wonderful feeling
As a controlled artist for over 30 years I felt a rush of the wonder I had experienced as a young artist just learning everything, it was so exciting
Since then I have been breaking more and more boundaries and have immersed myself into abstract art - I LOVE IT - and you can do it too
