Join Liz Chaderton for a two part engaging, online webinar, filmed live on Tue 18th August '20.
In this class we will continue to explore how to create the illusion of textures in watercolour. You will come away with a tool box of different techniques you can apply in future paintings, whatever your favourite subject.
Using materials you will find around the house or studio, learn how to create interesting textures in your watercolour. You will also learn some of the pitfalls to avoid. This is an opportunity to experiment, so bring a sense of fun and imagination!
