Painting Boats in the Harbour with Roy Simmons at Quirky Workshops
About
On this one day course you will learn the technique of pen and wash or extend your existing skills. This is a way of painting using waterproof pen that is then enhanced with watercolour. Using my methods you will find this is a very enjoyable way of capturing a scene. Don't worry if you think you “can't draw a straight line”, we don't want straight lines!
We will look at various ways of painting using this medium, by producing 3 simple studies. Then we will complete one, possibly two, complete paintings. All materials and instruction provided, you will take home a mounted painting at the end of the day.
Guide Prices
£75.00 incl 2 course Aga lunch and refreshments.
