THE SEASHORE PALETTE - Illustrating Shells in Watercolour

Wednesdays 4th, 11th & 18th June - 3 session course

3-5pm (UK time) 

£150.00

      

When visiting the coast, many of us love nothing better than to walk along the beach seeing the many natural treasures we can discover.

The focus of this course will be illustrating shells in watercolour.

We will spend time initially studying our subjects, understanding their structure and familiarising ourselves with their texture and colour. Moving forward we will then carefully draw our chosen subjects and follow on with painting them in watercolours.

Watercolour paints have a variety of properties, some we favour and others not. Granulation is one of these and paints that granulate can be used in a favourable and exciting way, whether using warm or cool colours. If you are not familiar with them, Sarah will guide you in which ones to choose that most suit the subject.  In addition, Sarah will also be using a range of single pigment brown watercolours and she will introduce you to the versatility of using these in your watercolour paintings.

An essential part of the course is accessing additional learning resources and receiving feedback on an online platform that course participants will have access to.  Full guidance will be given on the use of the online platform prior to the course starting.

The subjects that Sarah will be drawing and painting as part of this workshop include a Mussel shell painted larger than life and a range of Razor pod shells.

(This online course is an adaptation of an in-person workshop previously taught in 2024).
