Workshop Details
In this workshop Jeremy will explore wet-in-wet, wet on dry, and damp on dry watercolour techniques. This is a valuable step by step watercolour workshop for people of any ability. Colour-mixing, and colour and tonal contrasts throughout the painting is given by this demonstration, as well as overcoming common mistakes and problem-solving in watercolour.
