4A65 *NEW* Capturing Light in Watercolours
-Adult- | Available
Add dimension and realism to your botanical subjects using techniques that capture highlights and reflected light. Technique testing is an essential part of preparing for a botanical study. Heather will focus on colour applications for both dull and shiny surfaces. Working from a selection of small subjects, you’ll engage in technique testing exercises and then launch into a study of a single subject. This workshop includes one-on-one time with the instructor and is designed for artists with prior botanical art experience. Participants must already own or purchase a copy of the accompanying e-booklet “Capturing Light, Watercolour" available as an add-on when registering for $20 + HST.
Members: $144.95 + HST, Non-Members: $149 + HST (Prices include $6 material fee)
