WORKSHOPS

New programme 2009/10

Ann's courses combine demonstrations and practical work. They are for people with some watercolour experience and not complete beginners. The aim is to experiment, loosen up and develop exciting and expressive ways of working. Students will use a variety of different washes, brushwork and texture making techniques. Workshops are based at Todenham Village Hall or my studio. Demonstrations will be in watercolour on paper and will usually be of flowers unless specified otherwise. The ideas and inspiration and mixed media workshops will stretch the boundaries of watercolour even further with mixed media, collage and some secret ingredients to get your creative juices flowing!

Watercolour Masterclasses 2010

A programme of 4 workshops with homework to develop your personal skills This is for students with experience of watercolour, who need a boost, want to improve their skills or begin to find a personal style. The emphasis will be on looser styles of work and experimentation. You will be given painting homework in order to practise on your own the lessons explored during the workshops. This work will be discussed in the following session. Topics may include: Technique, Colour, Style and Composition although the content and subjects covered may vary according to students' requirements.

The Masterclass will be at my studio and limited to 6 places. The fee of £530 each is for the whole ‘term’ of four consecutive days. There will not be a refund for any missed sessions. A non-refundable deposit of £190 is required with booking. The balance can be paid at the first session. Coffee and tea are provided but lunch is not included. There is a pub immediately opposite the studio or you can bring a packed lunch.
