SUMMARY

As a prelude to her full 2-3hr Workshop event, join Catherine as she takes you through the steps to form your own impressionistic landscape motif, taken from her painting (supplied) as she introduces you to elements of her “gravity painting” techniques.


You will learn how to reserve the white of the paper for the bright, luminous sun and how to pool pigment in water around this area and experiment with edges and colour merging as Catherine helps you use more water and fewer brushstrokes. You will use paint straight from the tube to create powerfully deep tones and colour pops before applying clingfilm for intriguing texture and softening shapes by “lifting off”.
