The 2009 workshops are 1 or 2 day courses and are all being held in the Cotswolds - North Gloucestershire. During the courses Ann combines painting demonstrations with spending time helping students with their own work. The courses are for people with watercolour experience and not beginners. You should, for example, be able to mix colour and paint washes. The aim of the workshops is to experiment, loosen up and develop expressive ways of working. You will use different washes, brushwork and texture making techniques as appropriate to the subject. Ann's demonstrations at both venues will be in watercolour on paper and will usually be of flowers. Some of the workshops are held in Ann’s studio with a small group of 6/7 students. Other venues have about 12 students attending.
