About DRAW TO PAINT: Ditch the Detail!

Listed Under Workshops Events / Arts and Crafts Events

Planning a watercolour painting is important, but can be done easily, and the drawing skills don't need to be at all complex. It can be tempting to spend a
long time putting in every detail when really all that's needed is a simple 'positional guide'. We can then get on with enjoying painting!

In this class, we'll be doing both - easy, outline drawing, followed by a deep dive into the essential, fun watercolour techniques that you need to know, leading towards a solid understanding of the process involved in painting land and seascapes.

Learn about simple drawing, popular watercolour techniques, painting approaches - and lots more!
