DESCRIPTION
SATURDAY 07 NOVEMBER 2026 | 10:00 - 4:00pm WATERCOLOUR WORKSHOP Just what is the colour of snow and how do you go about making it look like snow in watercolour? In this workshop you will learn to understand and use value contrast, temperature contrast, and how to find the colour of snow through colour theory. We will explore the colour of snow shadows as well as using the skills of negative painting to cut out snow shapes and light. In addition, we will look at the use of gouache for adding snow along with creating the effects of distance.
