Join professional award winning artist Robert Dutton for a 2-3 hours workshop. Filmed live from the UK on 29 April 2021.
A wonderful watercolour/gouache and soft pastel workshop to fully explore loose and expressive painting techniques while creating a lovely work of art. Learn all the exciting layering techniques with watercolour, gouache and soft pastel to fully explore surface textures, light and shade, colour nuances, distance, shape and form.
You will learn how and when to apply the right amount of paint from translucent through to opaque and finish your expressive painting with all the right pastel colour choices to create a spectacular painting that will really jump and dazzle between colourful fauna and flora between in Spring Sunlight amidst deep and dramatic tree shadows.
