In this two day workshop you will learn the basic principles of watercolour portraiture; including the mixing of skin tones, application of paint, complimentary colours and composition. Through demonstration, you will have the chance to learn from Mark’s personal approach, as well as seek inspiration from other artist references.
Day one you will work from a still image and be guided to create your own final piece of work. In day two you will have the chance to work directly from a live model and will be guided to create observational paintings. Through exploration, you will learn how to paint the human figure, focusing on colour mixing, light, shadow and composition.
This course is open to all levels, but it would be beneficial to have a small amount of experience in watercolour.
This workshop will take place at RWS Gallery on Whitcomb Street, just off Trafalgar Square.
All bookings are non-refundable.
