Discover the techniques of Wet-on-Wet

This is a slightly advanced class for those Artists wanting to explore new finishes and techniques for their artwork – it is recommended that you have attended some of our Workshops previous to this or have some experience with watercolour painting…….for my regular students – a novelty ‘No Ink’ 🌞

Materials to Bring:

If you would like a new watercolour – colour to try – look at Winsor and Newton ‘Perylene Green‘ this is my colour for the month 🌞 but no pressure you can see it in use during this Workshop and decide if you fall in love with it – for me, it falls into the palette along with Indigo!!

• 1 full sheet of watercolour paper – cold press 300gsm OR
• A pad of paper of similar weight – at least A3 in size
• Paint Colours – please bring what you have but these are some of the colours we will play with – I tend to use 4 primary colours so you can choose from these:

  • Indigo
  • Cadmium Yellow – Deep
  • Phthalo Blue
  • Raw Sienna
  • Quinacridone Gold or Australian Red Gold
  • Alizarin Crimson and/or Deep Cadmium Red – or similar colours

Brushes – at least those below –

but please bring whatever you have in your kit:

• 1 x Squirrel Needle point or Chinese style calligraphy brush for detailed line work and layering of your colours

Other Tools:

• 1 x old kitchen spray bottle – washed out and ready to have clean water to spray across your paints – I recommend an old ‘Windex’ Bottle of similar to give you a good spray of water.
• a 2B pencil and if you would like a rubber
• Hair dryer to dry your work between layers
• Backing board (core board or similar from Bunnings) and tape to manage your paper – we don’t use an easel we tape the paper to the backing board so we can move the paper and tilt or turn as needed to manage your paint and water.
