Artist: Claire Adams
Join me for this fun workshop, combining expressive tonal charcoal drawing & watercolour painting techniques.
During this workshop you will develop observation & gestural drawing skills, working to life-size from primary source vegetable subject matter.
You will explore exciting mark-making techniques using charcoal with loose watercolour washes to capture the essential characteristics of your subject.
By the end of the session you will have created a study sheet with notes of techniques, & a finished watercolour & charcoal study.
