Michael guided the art club
members through watercolour washes for beginners. As a beginner it was perfect
combination of demonstration, and instruction, far easier than following a book
and DIY. Looking around the room I could
see the experience water-colourists’ also benefited.
We were gently guided
through:
1.
Background wash
2.
Foreground grass
3.
Removing hard
edges, branches and twigs
4.
Direction of the
light, and tones
5.
Finishing, making
additional statements
Creative but not constrained
as the members of the group were allowed to choose and develop their own work.
Had I had been taught watercolour by Michael before my art may have taken a
different direction. Having said that I will apply what I have learnt to my
sketchbook work.
A big thank to you Michael.
