TURNING GREEN IN WATERCOLOUR

WATERCOLOUR WORKSHOP

Green is one of those elusive colours that seem so difficult to get right. Come and learn all about green in watercolour, how to make green using colour theory, how to use tube greens, as well as how to steer greens through bright, cool, warm, and grey variants as well as making perfect shadow greens. In this workshop Paul will share his knowledge in not only creating the greens you want, but also in creating natural looking greens that fit into any landscape. The day will begin with some colour theory and a discussion about green followed by a full demonstration by Paul. Afterwards you will have the opportunity to put the theory into your own painting with Paul's assistance throughout the afternoon.

Materials Needed

Reference material

Please bring along some photo references to work from, either printed or on an i-Pad or tablet. For best results include a grey scale (black and white) image of the same. Spare photos will also be available to use on the day.

Paints

There are no compulsory colours, but as a guide, it would be helpful to have Winsor yellow, yellow ochre, cerulean blue, French ultramarine, cadmium red, and alizarin crimson, ivory black and permanent sap green.

Brushes

Natural hairbrushes and/or synthetics, ideally one large, one or two medium sized round, flat or mop types, a small synthetic round and a fine rigger brush.

Palette

Either a plastic or ceramic tray, folding palette, or large mixing surface.

Paper

Saunders Waterford, Arches, Winsor Newton Professional or any similar cotton  paper in either rough or cold pressed (NOT) surface. I would recommend working no bigger than 38 x 28cm unless you are confident in applying large washes of paint.

Other equipment

Waterpot, palette, Pencils 4B or 6B, putty rubber, kitchen roll, painting board, masking tape, water spray, household sponge wipe (thin moppet type).
