Hi there,
Is the January workshop for beginner watercolour?
Thanks
Janet
Hi Janet – this Workshop ‘Abstracting the Coastal Landscape’ will discuss how to choose the elements of your painting to create you ‘abstracted’ impression and memories of your chosen memory/image!
So from this perspective it is a good Workshop to help you think through how to create the concepts and layout your painting – but it is not intended to be a total ‘Beginners’ Workshop >>> have a look at this one – which is intended to get you started if you haven’t painted before >>> https://www.fishlanestudios.com/event/a-beginners-workshop-pre-christmas-so-you-can-ask-santa-for-whatever-colours-and-tools-you-need/
