Painting flowers with watercolour with Natalie Popovski
Friday 10 January from 10am to 4pm
Watercolour is an incredibly therapeutic medium, and because of its flowing nature, it lends itself to a sense of calmness and relaxation. It can be a little tricky to master as it requires a delicate balance of learning how to control the medium at times and learning to let it do its own thing at others. Throughout this class, we will explore various techniques such as painting wet-on-wet and wet-on-dry applications. We will learn about selecting harmonious colours and layering them to create soft and beautiful paintings of flowers.
Materials list
All materials are provided in this class. You are welcome to bring your own materials along as well if you would prefer.
