Some amazing fun with water colour.  The theme is going to be a Market Scene with lots of fun techniques, wild colours and beautiful light. 


MARCH 2015:  Two days of painting at the St Francis Bowling Club with lots of space to spread your experienced or beginner wings.  


Christine Chapman is coordinating the event.  Thank you Christine for this wonderful assistance.


APRIL 2015:  Two days of painting at the Methodist Church Plettenberg Bay. 


You will be guided step by step to create a vibrant and delightful scene with flowers and people.  


Bring any pictures of market scenes you may wish to try out and some old magazines so we can look at people and postures for the scene.

Water colour paper 300 gram and two sizes (A4 and A3)

Spray bottle
Jar for water
Small condiment containers for wet paint

Old towel for splashy work
Table cloth to protect tables
Apron
Black "Maizey plastic" boards, (I will bring some extras for those who do not already know about my way of stretching paper.)

Tracing paper and prestick

Paints -
Bring what you have or look at the picture along side and see what I used. Also some sap green and hookers green.

Painting number two ....
We will explore the same scene but with other colours techniques

These are some of the colours I began to use.
 
See the condiment pots with lids so we can mix up colour to pour onto our paper and allow the magic to happen.

Depending on the amount of detail of the market people, we can explore ways to bring just enough detail to convince the viewer that indeed these are human figures.
