(UK timings)
This LivePlus™ online workshop is ideal for beginners and improvers alike, although some experience of using watercolours or gilding techniques would be an advantage.
Workshop details
If you enjoy the fairy-tale qualities of illumination you will love this class! Students will learn how to design a painted Acanthus leaf foliate spray to surround a delightful meadow creature.
Inspired by the unique and surprising miniature paintings in historic illuminated manuscripts, Heather will guide you through dry and moist brush painting techniques to create these whimsical miniatures. Guides will be provided for the meadow creatures whilst you create your unique foliate spray. The colours and meadow settings can be adjusted for each season.
Although this class assumes some background with watercolour and gilding techniques, any level of experience can be guided through these techniques. You will be surprised at what you can create! These adorable creatures are a delight to create, and the process is peaceful and meditative. Let’s unleash the magic of the Enchanted Meadow
It is up to you whether you work along with Heather, or simply watch and learn. After each workshop demo you will be given a link to the recording, which you can watch as many times as you wish for thirty days.
Equipment & materials list
Materials are not included in the course fee. All the materials and equipment you will need are listed below.
Gilding Supplies:
Watercolours:
John Neal sells a dot card of all of my favourite colours Daniel Smith watercolours which includes the must have colours listed below. The dot card is the most economical way of investing in supplies for this class, especially if you are new to watercolour. It will provide all the paint you need for the Enchanted Meadow animal as well as the flowers and foliage. Most Meadow creatures are painted in a progression of brown tones.
The” Must have” colours for the Enchanted Meadow Animal are:
You will also need some other colours for the florals and foliage that surround your Enchanted Meadow animal. We can make any colours work so bring what you have. I suggest having some green, blue, yellow, red and purple along with the brown tones.
