"Spring Flowers - Inspired by Charles Rennie Mackintosh"
Windrush House, Windrush, Burford, OX18 4TU
SPRING FLOWERS USING WATERCOLOUR AND GRAPHITE
If you love beautiful Spring flowers, their delicate shapes and structures, and would like to create a watercolour with an individual sense of pattern and design then be inspired by the techniques of Charles Rennie Mackintosh (1868 - 1928)
After almost 100 years, his beautiful studies stand the test of time and remain popular today.
This workshop is suitable for all skill levels. We will be looking at the structure of our fresh flowers, deciding on our composition, and keeping our drawing simple before adding watercolour washes.
There will be line drawings and finished paintings to inspire, as well as fresh flowers.
Josephine Neil is our wonderful host, providing us all with teas coffees and home made cake as well as a delicious lunch in the dining room. All you need to bring with you are your art materials and enthusiasm to enjoy our day.

"Sumptuous Sunflowers in Watercolour"
ART SOCIETY WATERCOLOUR WORKSHOP
This workshop is suitable for anyone who uses watercolours and would like to loosen up their techniques. You will complete a painting as well as experimenting with various techniques throughout the day. If you prefer to work on multiple pieces building up a series of studies to work on later, that’s also fine.
We will be working wet into wet, dropping in colours and creating some dynamic textures persuading the pigments to flow across the page by tilting our paper.
I will also show you how examples of I use the same elements within a concertina journal, adding to the creative possibilities achievable during the day.
We will be using photos as reference, fresh flowers if possible and there will be some paintings on display to inspire you. You will be able to work in the size you prefer, although I shall be demonstrating on paper 1/2 Imperial (15 x 22 inches)
All you need to bring with you are your art materials and enthusiasm to enjoy our day.
Places booked through The Tewkesbury Art Society.
