Learn how to capture the beauty of nature in your works with a two-day ‘Snow a nd Trees’ workshop. With the expert guidance of a professional artist\, you’ll be creating stunning landscape views of both trees and snowy scen es for you to take home and keep.\n\n10:30 - 4:30 Saturday &\; Sunday\n Stretched watercolour paper of around A3 size or slightly larger on a suit able board will be required.\nIf you have your own art materials\, please bring them along as it will help you to work with your own things. However \, we will supply a range of pigments and brushes as required if you don ’t already have them.\n\nThe two-day course will provide personalised in struction\, mentorship and support for new or intermediate-grade watercolo ur painters\, and we’ll be concentrating on painting trees – always a tricky subject in watercolour – in a simple but effective style\, as wel l as painting a warm snowy scene – perhaps appropriate in February!\nThi s will allow us not only to produce a couple of nice paintings but will co ver as many of the general aspects of watercolour as possible to make it a really useful day!\n\nNo previous watercolour experience is necessary but Rob will try to work with you to make the most of whatever experience in the medium you might have already. We will work using a series of demonstr ations of each stage\, followed by your own painting of that stage. Rob wi ll be on hand throughout with friendly advice and help so that hopefully e veryone will produce an accomplished painting by the end of the day!\n\nAb out Rob:\nRob is a self-taught watercolour artist who\, after many years o f learning the medium as a hobby during his career as an RAF pilot\, turne d professional 11 years ago after leaving the Service.
