Class Synopsis

As the title suggests, this workshop is about maximum results in the ten days. If you are sick of fiddling with paint, procrastinating and want to go beyond the mere prosaic, come along and break through the barrier.

The first half will concentrate on developing skills in tone, colour and technique through demonstrations, lectures and exercises. Works will vary in subject and style. In the second half you will be developing your own paintings from your own source material with Charles acting as a mentor (note: other mediums may be applied to the watercolour if deemed necessary). This is not just a “how to” course but a “how to think” course.
