Watercolour Workshop with Penny Walton

Starting out in pencil, students will begin by looking at plant shapes and how to render form through stippling and hatching.

From there, Penny and her students will progress into watercolour. Firstly exploring the different ways of laying washes, and then learning about colour mixing and opening their eyes to all the variations of green.

This class is for you if you want to:

• Gain an understanding of plant form and colour.
• Develop a sharper eye for observing and improve your ability to create intricate details like veins or mottling on leaves.
• Gain the confidence to work on small sketches outdoors, or paint plants from your garden.

The day will finish with a full colour study of a plant specimen.

Penny has been teaching botanical art in regional galleries, community colleges and privately for many years.

Suitable for beginners and up.
