SUMMARY

In this prelude to his full, 2-3 hour workshop webinar follow along with Barry as he paints the lovely, vibrant colours of a rolling sea. He will guide you through this introductory painting in bite sized chunks so that you can get to grips with the way he puts paint to paper. All the colours you will be using are transparent or semi transparent which means you can glaze successive colours over each other and develop dark and luminous sections without MUD!


Preparation: Please have your paper taped down onto your board and your preliminary drawing done ready for the start of the session.

MATERIALS

• PAPER: Tape a piece of watercolour paper , approx 6 x 7 ins, to a board or stiff card.

Surface: I will be using ROUGH but NOT or Cold Pressed will also work well as there is a lot of texture in this scene. At this stage it would be a good idea to have a slightly larger piece of paper to work on as there would then be room to try out your colour mixes beforehand if you so wish.


• PAINTS: Barry recommends you use Artists quality watercolours as we will be wanting maximum transparency in our colours and the cheaper brands’ add binders and fillers to keep prices low .

Barry uses Schmincke Horadam Artists Watercolours.
