Join me on 16th August 2021 for a workshop via Zoom, where I’ll be painting Irish wild flowers in watercolour. This is not in the style of botanical painting, but shows realistic flowers in a loose, atmospheric setting. Your fee of €30 covers a three-hour demonstration with opportunities for Q & A, links to the Zoom recording afterwards, AND ALSO exclusive access to pre-recorded videos on YouTube showing the real-time process of two wild flower paintings.
Online classes
Since 2020 weekly classes switched to Zoom, and are running very successfully. The current group, which meets on a Thursday morning, have all been attending classes in the studio before, but new students are welcome to join the group at any time. At present, these will need to be people with at least some experience in watercolour. Please contact me if you’d like to join !
The format is that the 2 1/2 hour class starts with a time for “show and tell”, in which students who wish to can share what they have painted since the last class. For those who would prefer their feedback to be private, they can instead send me an image via email or Whatsapp, for some individual critique if they would like it. The class then proceeds with a live demonstration, lasting up to two hours, in which I share tips about composition, drawing, colour choices and colour mixing, and the application of paint, plus plenty of techniques to try out and some fun ideas for creating lively paintings.
After the class, a recording will be available on the Zoom cloud for a month, and the link is sent to students. Additionally, I have a YouTube channel, with clips to supplement the classes, which is made available only to students of the classes.
