Seedheads in Winter: Watercolour Workshop - Jackie Devereux
Thursday 25 March 2021 | 6:00 pm
CREATING BOLD CONTEMPORARY WORKS ON PAPER, FOCUSING ON SEEDHEADS IN WINTER.
A LIBERATING INK+WATERCOLOUR WORKSHOP WITH ARTIST AND TUTOR, JACKIE DEVEREUX.
A list is appended for basic materials, or just use whatever you have to hand. Alternatively, you may like to just watch, make notes and ask questions. Together we shall experiment with some exciting mark making and attempt to discover the potential of each brush before embarking on picture-making. I shall have some large dry seedheads by me to work from and interpret and if you have some to hand do use those as your models or alternatively you could just follow my lead.
Ref: Poppies, Teasels, Chinese lanterns, Honesty,
Suggested materials:
A drawing board larger than the paper, if you have one (- a piece of MDF board is fine).
Some A3 sheets of Bockingford Rough watercolour paper (or similar) - weight 300g.
Watercolours – either tubes or pans of any make.
A bright red (Scarlet for example), a striking yellow (Indian Yellow or similar) and a bright blue (perhaps Cobalt blue or similar).
Brushes - 1” (or larger) Flat brush, a Large Sword liner, and a pointed Wash brush - (See photograph for guidance).
Uni-ball Fineliner pen 0.2mm or 0.3mm Black
Indian Ink – Black (permanent waterproof)
Sketching pen with nib(s) or a sharpened stick (i.e. coffee stirrer)
Large jar of water and some kitchen roll
All above materials above are available online from most art supplies, i.e. www.saa.co.uk or www.jacksonart.com
If you already have some brushes and watercolours either in tubes or pans, just use those – I shall not stipulate particular colours but the three primaries I have mentioned will enable you to mix all the colours we need for this exercise – and more! Any slight variations will be fine.
Jackie’s work can be seen on her website, www.watercolour-online.co.uk
PARTICIPATION FEE: £40.00
