Leading on from this, she will support you in creating a detailed observational drawing of the plants, demonstrating the ‘stippling’ technique in pen to show shadow. With one to one support and class demonstrations, you will experiment with watercolour techniques and accurate colour mixing to paint the foliage and leave with a finished painting and greater confidence in watercolours.All materials provided.
