one by one the ever present complexities of painting a picture. Composition, perspective and tonal values are often overlooked and neglected, and as a
consequence we will be doing preliminary pencil and charcoal drawing, discussions about the appropriate palette, choice of colour etc. Preliminary
charcoal drawings and colour tonal washes are a great way to Iron out potential problems. Finally we touch on the do and do not, and the things we love
to do, which is more painting. This class is designed for beginners and students with some experience seeking a better understanding of materials,
design, techniques and drawing methods to achieve vibrant, translucent and impressionistic qualities in their artwork. Individual guidance, demonstrations

watercolour palette while encouraging you to experiment boldly with watercolours. The techniques explored in this workshop will include washes,
variegated washes, wet-in-wet techniques and dry brush painting to help give your painting the tonal values that create a work of art. Many people have a
fear of watercolour because they have been led to believe that it is so difficult and one only has one chance to get it right, this is simply not true and there
are many ways of easing nervous people into the use of watercolour. Students will be asked to bring some prints, reference materials and perhaps a
visual diary to get started. We will paint the traditional still life, sea and landscapes, street scenes and we will perhaps be able to introduce people, people
in their garden, in the street, in the pub. With infectious enthusiasm Carl gets down to teaching the basic techniques in a free, loose manner. Carl’s love of
