There is often no reason for moving to multi-media other than the whim of the Artist – but with these Marker Pens – there are strong options for achieving texture and interesting options to lift your Artwork from the mundane to the vibrant!

With this Workshop – Artist Wyn Vogel will discuss options for a combination of Watercolour and Marker Pens – what better time to be tempted with the bright colours of the Chinese New Year and their gorgeous ‘Lanterns’ these are the inspiration – there are funky and traditional to choose from!

The structure of the paper and thread that are the basis for the construct of these Lanterns lend themselves to the being shaped with the styles on the end of the marker pen.

Don’t forget to bring your lunch and a mug – tea and coffee will be provided.

Artist Wyn Vogel will bring together her favourite colours and shape for you to choose from and we will explore the textures and tones that can be evoked by the use of Watercolour Inks – especially underpainting the shadows like you can see in this image prior to loading any watercolour paint!

If you would like to under paint – it is important to use acrylic water poof ink that will dry and stay stable when watercolour is applied – for this reason I would recommend any of the acrylic inks you will see in store – if you want to remain pure to the watercolour mantra – you can use the watercolour inks but they will mix and blend like watercolours as you layer them – so be prepared for this to happen – remember you will have 10% discount from Eckersley’s on any materials you choose to buy for this Workshop!

Modern Botanical Workshops are designed to bring the colour and flow of the plant and watercolour together – we do take consideration of the botanical notes of each flower – but the goal is to replicate these with strength and motion of colour and design on your paper!

Wyn will bring images of flowers and/or during the season we source the real thing as available – given we are painting ‘Poppies’ this seasonal distraction might mean you are working from images taken at Harris Farm West End when Poppies were in plentiful supply 🌞

Don’t forget to bring a picnic lunch and your own mug as we do organise tea and coffee to sustain you through the day!

Creative moments come from all sorts of directions – let’s start the year experimenting! Different Substrates – Different Directions – Museum Series Aquabord is a textured, highly absorbent surface designed for watercolor and gouache. Aquabord is crafted from our premium warp-resistant 1/8″ FSC-certified Hardbord™ that is protected with our proprietary Archiva-Seal™ and coated with an acid-free clay and mineral ground with a texture similar to cold-pressed watercolor paper. Colors retain their purity and vibrancy in a way that even the finest of watercolour papers can’t match and Aquabord allows artists to frame and display their watercolour without glass.
