Wild & Free Watercolours - Birds and flowers with Clare Tebboth

WILD AND FREE WATERCOLOURS

Birds and flowers

A fascinatation with the natural world has been the main inspiration for artist Clare Tebboth’s work.

An experienced watercolourist, Clare has been teaching for many years and she loves sharing her techniques in her lively, informative workshops.

This special workshop is suitable for beginners or those with more experience who want to learn this technique.

You will need to bring some reasonable quality watercolour brushes including a size 10 round brush or larger (it must come to a fine point.)

• Artist’s watercolour paint - tubes or pans
• Watercolour paper minimum A5 or A4 size 300gm (140 lb), cold press or NOT surface – this is a good one https://www.hobbycraft.co.uk/seawhite-watercolour-paper-pad-a4/6432871000.html
• A large plate (white) or mixing palette
• Waterpot (icecream tub size!), kitchen roll

You will explore how to paint a bird and some flowers/foliage including looking at:

• brush work and the use of different types of brushes
• colour mixing
• controlling the flow of paint
• using masking to preserve areas of the paper

Throughout the morning you will produce a number of small watercolour paintings.
