WORKSHOP: Back To Basics : with Charles Williams PRWS

This workshop is a course for beginners, those who feel they have missed out on the vital principles of this deceptively difficult medium, and who want to develop their understanding of the fundamentals of classic watercolour painting. Over the course of the day you will cover techniques including:

• wash, gradated wash, tinting, shading, colour to colour, developed wash techniques, correcting, use of gouache , body colour and painting over.

• types of perspective, watercolour drawing, making form in light and dark, shading and cast shadow.

• composing a work, textural experiment and ways to make some short-cuts.

This workshop will take place at the new RWS Gallery on Whitcomb Street, just off Trafalgar Square.

All bookings are non-refundable.
