WORKSHOPS
Workshop programme 2012
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. Workshops are based in the picturesque Cotswolds at Todenham Village Hall or Ann’s studio. A list of local accommodation will be provided after booking.
Todenham Village Hall
This attractive hall is in Ann’s home village of Todenham, near Moreton in Marsh, Gloucestershire. Refreshments and a two course lunch with wine are included. There will be a maximum of 14 people on each course.
Fee: £100 each per day. 10am-4pm
Ann’s Studio
The studio is next to Ann’s house at Church View, Todenham, near Moreton in Marsh, Gloucestershire, GL56 9PF. Coffee and tea are provided but lunch is not included as there is a pub immediately opposite. There will be a maximum of 6 students on each course.
Fee £100 each per day 10am-4pm
Watercolour Masterclass
The Masterclass is a programme of 3 one-day workshops, about a month apart. Homework will be individually set at the end of each session for you to practise the topics explored at home. The homework will be discussed in the following session. The programme is designed for students with experience of watercolour, who need a boost, want to improve their personal skills or begin to find an individual style. The emphasis will be on experimentation and moving forward. Each session will focus on different aspects of painting such as colour, composition, interpretation and technique although the content and subjects covered may vary according to students' own requirements. Ann will demonstrate particular points but the emphasis is on your own painting.
The venue will be Ann’s studio and there are only 6 places. The fee of £395 is for the whole ‘term’ of three days. A non-refundable deposit of £150 is required with booking and the balance can be paid at the first session.
